    Thank God for Those Who Take Their Responsibilities Seriously

    This was an eye-opening experience for me. At the beginning you think the authorities are doing a good job and coming to valid conclusions, and you agree with the conclusions. Then things change.

    The organization of the documentary and the editing make so good. The way it is presented keeps you interested to the point that you will most likely binge it. It is hard to turn it off.

    In the end one person who is sincere and so admirable for understanding the responsibility entrusted by the public saves the day. And the integrity and stalwartness of this person flood you with a warm and grateful feeling.

    Loved this absolutely.

    A shocking series of events, fascinating series.

    Aaron Quinn is arrested when his girlfriend Denise Huskins is apparently kidnapped, Aaron tells The Police an elaborate story about being kidnapped, bound and gagged, he isn't believed, days later, Denise reappears.

    This is one of the best Netflix documentaries for a little while, it's a harrowing, thought provoking series, it is such a shocking, bizarre story.

    The Police come out of this looking, very, very bad, initially I thought it was a case of never believe the man, but I was wrong, Denise's treatment was diabolical, some of The actions of Detectives, appalling.

    Very well produced, well made, and there is some fascinating insight. It's of course done in a way to make you feel angry with events, and I believe it's done in a way to evoke particular emotions, which I'm sure you will.

    Some of the interviews are truly harrowing and upsetting, some of the content is pretty shocking.

    I'm glad it was done over three episodes and not more, it was well paced, and didn't lull at any point.

    Intriguing, well done Netflix.

    8/10.

    Not at all what I expected

    I've been watching too many true crime serial killer things lately and I thought this was just one more of the same.

    I was wrong.

    It was not what I expected and after watching it I was sort of breathless.

    Holy moly!

    I did not at all remember this although clearly it was on the national news.

    Here I am 24 hours later and still shaking my head.

    How could a thing like this happen?

    It's shocking and disturbing.

    I really feel for the victims here. It could happen to any of us.

    This is made very cleverly. I don't even want to say much more than that. We come to stories like this with firmly held preconceived notions.

    But things are sometimes not what they seem.

    I would have given this a 10 except at some (few) points it drags a bit. So a 9 but highly recommended.

    Very good documentary!

    For fans of the true crime genre, American Nightmare offers a very well documented, detailed and also with the real victims, they are not actors. They even have audio and video evidence.

    This documentary rise the questions around judging and pointing fingers without sufficient evidence, disbelief and the failings of our institutions, the truth is that it is not a new issue, although in this case it is extremely cruel and I would say that it is even illegal. The word 'negligence' falls short in this case, it is much worse than negligence.

    I would have liked to know more about Andrea's ex-partner, the FBI agent, but it still doesn't matter for the final result. And also a psychological profile of Matthew Muller could have maybe added a new view to the story.

    When a citizen finds themselves in a dangerous situation, their first thought is to get help from the authorities because that's what they are meant to do, at least come forward to prove they are not lying! But what if they deny to believe you? The officers tried everything to break them down by pointing fingers at them from the beginning. Really frustrating! My blood pressure went up! And if that were not enough, let's talk about the press, always inventing things just to damage and break our lives. I will tell journalist Henry Lee, from the San Franciso Chronicle, not to judge without knowing, that is not doing your job well at all!, but simply wanting to harm others in every way. I hope it happens to you one day, let's see if we believe you. Asking for forgiveness later makes no sense any more, damage is already done!

    I just hope that after all this unnecessary drama and loss of a lot of money, the organizations that should help us when we need it most have learned something.

    I absolutely recommend it!

    Had me like "Bruh, had they done their job...."

    Wow dude. This shocking doc. Is NOT what I thought it initially appeared to be. This true crime doc has 3 eps; not too long, is a mystery about the abduction of Denis Huskins that told in a way that almost sounds Outlandish.

    The story is told from different perspectives in each episode and after each, you're likely to jump into conclusions as some of the folks on this show do (anything more and I might end up spoiling it for you. All I can say is, I wish people did their job. I'm shocked but at the same time, I'm like 'Why am I not surprised!?' This horrific story is totally worth your watch but also serves as a cautionary tale.
