MH370: L'avion disparu

I swear 9 out of 10 documentaries on Netflix follow the basic outline of:

1. Being way too long and could really be condensed into 90-120 min.

2. Start out ok but eventually drift into the unknown so they theorize what may have happened.

3. By the 3rd episode the conspiracy theories take precedence to what the actual documentary is about.

This story is a sad incident and it sucks that this documentary took this classic Netflix turn and got hijacked by that dude that talked way too much. Seriously, did they run out of people to interview? Instead you gave most of the screen time to the guy that suggested Russians hatched some elaborate scheme to bury a Russian invasion from the media? Wtf! Haha. I'm sorry but I really wanted to see this as the real story was odd but this was bad all around.

The incredible bumbling and arrogance of the Malaysian government and Malaysian Airlines is undeniable.

This aviation writer, Jeff Wise, clearly wanted to break into Hollywood and Netflix gave him his chance. His multiple theories completely ignore most logical facts, like the other passengers on board saying, "hey, a Russian just opened the hatch and went down." This guy is guilty of confirmation bias who rode this crash to fame.

Meanwhile, all Wise can do is dismiss the debris finder, Blaine Gibson, as a part of a vast Russian plot.

Meanwhile, the woman who said, "look here is the plane. I can see the debris field exactly where it would be, in the South China Sea near Vietnam." If the catastrophic event happened when the plane went dark on radar, that's where it would be. Her story, rather than explored on its own, is wrapped into yet another wild conspiracy theory by the wholly unbelievable fantastical French journalist.

Fortunately, there is Mike Exner to bring sanity to all the wild theories.

What surprises me most is no one talks about golfer Paine Stewart's ill-fated flight wherein the planes pressurization failed and all were killed by hypoxia and then the ghost plane ran out of fuel and crashed. The Captain and co-pilot would have had more oxygen and could have tried to turn the plane back towards home.

In its attempt to introduce new angles and material not seen before it has focused far too much on conspiracy (painted as seemingly viable alternatives to the current evidence-based versions available). This mystery-tragedy has left hundreds of people without their loved ones and they deserve more than conspiracy and speculation. This series provided a platform for rabbit holes, and gave far too little airtime to the individuals providing scientific and credible information and insights into this missing aircraft. It's hard to see what the point of this docu-series is, aside from trying to introduce new, fresh narratives at any cost.

Three episodes, three feasible conspiracy theories with all the underlying evidence exposed ... the third one is the best and least believable ... or is it?

This docudrama takes you through a timeline from the first instance MH370 being missed to the eventual dropping of the search in the South Indian Ocean.

There are heartbreaking interviews with family member of the missing plus team members of the search teams. All of which are searching for an answer to the disappearance of loved ones. Sometimes these are angry but all agree that they're not being told the truth.

But is the truth out there?

Wow! The absurdity and just clear lack of sympathy for the families of the victims of this horrible tragedy is just astounding. I found Jeff Wise to be absolutely infuriating. The guy just needs to write murder mystery novels with his crazy thinking and leave actual reality for people with a sense of sanity. How the producers at Netflix found him tolerable, let alone lead pretty much most of the show is the real conspiracy. Russia anyone? Maybe trying to brain-dumb more Americans so they can eventually take over the world. In spite of all that, I really did feel for the victims of the tragedy. What they went through is absolutely horrific. May we all know what happened very soon.
