Long winded and boring

I stopped watching as I found that after two episodes I actually didn't care who murdered Senzo. It was hard to hear the dialogue and the repetitive scenes just bored me. I hope I never get involved in the justice system in SA it all looked haphazard to say the least.

Speculating not investigating

The first few episodes are fairly good, setting up the relevant parties and setting the scene for the murder. Then the last three episodes digress into he said she said speculating without drawing any conclusions or really investigating.

Far too long winded

Not a terrible documentary but had no need to be so long and infact would have been a better documentary if it was shortened to 2 hour long episodes.

I love documentaries that finish episodes on such a cliffhanger that you can't wait to see the next episode. This documentary unfortunately doesn't do that. It's filled with way too much conjecture and hearsay that all sense of drama is lost very early on. I do feel for the family as you are left feeling that some sort of cover up is present but ultimately that is the whole agenda of the series so it does make you want to read up on the case a bit more for a balanced view.

A head-scratcher

Interesting, but it almost seems like this wasn't ready to be released, or the producers were counting on a big breakthrough that never came, so they had to just roll with what they had. I agree with others that they dragged it out by rehashing too much repeatedly. Could have laid out all the information in 2-3 episodes. A bit unsatisfying, even for someone who is ok with cases remaining unsolved by the end of a series, if there seems to be a good reason it was made. Hopefully this effort puts pressure on the right people to achieve justice, but I'm not sure this is it.

Solid true crime series.

While this series could have been edited a little better for brevity's sake, I enjoyed it overall. I also watched it over three sittings, so I didn't feel like it ran excessively too long.

I had no prior knowledge of this case, and it's an interesting one, for sure. There are some twists and turns as the story unfolds, and no shortage of interviews, with credible people directly associated.

My biggest complaint is I wish it had featured more footage with Senzo. I felt like I didn't get to know enough about him, other than the obvious. I'm glad I watched this, I'm going to continue to follow this in the news.
