Just watch the 3 episodes back to back and I honestly sat in awe. Very rare a documentary gives all sides of the spectrum and in such an honest hard hitting way. Being from another part of the world I remember the event but never realised how long it went on for or the events that took place during it. The makers give you an hour by hour story from the people who were involved. From the top to bottom of the authorities and police. The victims,the public and the culprits are all given to you too. I was gripped after the first 30 minutes and just couldn't switch it off. Your pulled in and want to be there until the end. Which has in my eyes ,the right one too. Give it a go. I can't recommend it enough.
I'm truly shocked to see so many poor reviews! I started watching this on a whim and was in tears within the first five minutes, seeing little children dancing and playing and then BOOM! The shock and terror of the assembled crowd was heart-breaking. Living in the area (and husband working in Boston) it was gripping to see all the home and security videos pieced together to give an overview of events.
As the bombing was on the forefront of the news for days we saw a lot of what was going on with the manhunt. I was transfixed watching this docuseries. Hearing the perspectives of the home videos as well as the calls to 911 and the interviews with peoples involved, both working and victims, gave a gut-wrenching perspective of the events that transpired. I personally feel this was very well made and I'll recommend this to others.

This three-part series is a broad and profound look into the events, and people, connected with the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. It's an especially interesting character study of those who were responsible for the bombing, and of those who were most affected on the day of the Marathon- and the week that followed. The actual terrorists, the local Boston Police, the FBI, along with the local and National Media, are all examined and well represented. Those who were interviewed all have very intriguing stories to tell. Extremely well edited and produced with emotional testimonies. It was compelling from start to finish. I highly recommend this docuseries as it was well worth the three hours. I give it a strong 8. If you're even remotely interested to know what happened at the 2013 Boston Marathon, watch this, right now.
Generally this was a good documentary, not wasting your time, to the point and telling the story from many different perspectives such as the victims, police, fbi, etc. It does miss more proper investigation into their family and actually talking to the perpetrator though.
I would have rated this much higher, if it wasn't for some of their extremely out of place interviewees as Phillip Martin. He's a "journalist" who does nothing but complain about law enforcement, much more concerned about the well-being of the perpetrator than any victim. His narrow-minded ideologies are just glowing. Secondly we have the muslim friend who's also much more concerned about muslims getting a bad reputation, than innocent people getting killed or actually having muslims commit less terrorism. We all know Netflix added these for DEI. It only drags down the integrity of the rest of the series.
That being said. If you can ignore those parts, the rest is a good retelling of the investigation following the bombing.

Nobody will forget the footage from The Boston Marathon, the explosions that caused deaths, injury and so much upset. This three part documentary series explores who was behind it, and why, as well as the shocking series of events that followed.
In comparison with some more recent documentaries, this one was streets ahead, very detailed and factual, not only did they try to give context, but they also tried to explain the how and why, just how the brothers ended up committing their horrendous acts.
The second episode is one of the most shocking, but interesting things I've seen in some time, it's truly like something out of a well imagined action thriller.
Some very revealing and interesting interviews, you'll get some powerful insight into events, first hand.
Definitely worth seeing, 8/10.
