    Interesting documentary

    These miniseries are interesting to watch to better understand how the greatest enemy of the United States was hunted. Many details about this top secret mission with all the members who led the chase operations are disclosed that I never thought about.. The last episode was really breathtaking.

    Before I checked out this documentary I couldn't imagine what great efforts and difficulties were behind. Now, I have also to congratulate all the staff and the Seals for this great success and god bless all.

    If you like this genre of content don't miss the Hollywood movie Zero Dark Thirty about Bin Laden or the far east spy action thriller American Assassin. 8/10.

    Where are the GOOD analysts?

    As another reviewer noted, there is a pretty obvious theme through the CIA analysts they interviewed for this program, and it's obvious that it isn't terribly reflective of the entire body of CIA analysts.

    Were these the only ones that would consent to an interview? Or are these the only ones that have retired and are willing to spill the tea? Did the good ones not have any interest in participating or were these ladies hand-selected to drive some message?

    Generally a decent documentary, doesn't offer much that hasn't already been done in previous projects. I would like to have seen a couple of analysts that were a part of running the ops rather than a just a couple from the periphery that are ashamed of the CIA.

    And seriously - a drone controller who is talking about how being a VP in her sorority qualified her for the job? Puhh-lease. Who decided any commentary on her background or sorority membership has any relevance to this at all?

    OK

    Follows an in-depth look at how the world mobilized to hunt down Osama Bin Laden after his orchestrations of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the United States.

    The documentary itself is pretty good. Too bad that most of the people involved are spekking in an arrogant, annoying way. And the typical 'look how great America is!' seems quite unappropriate. Forgot about all the big failures, before and after 9/11? Failures that costed the lives of thousands of people worldwide.

    I only liked the footage and preparations of the actual raid in 2011. Everything else was political and USA propaganda.

    Gripping, Intense, and Brilliantly Made

    "American Manhunt: The Search for Osama bin Laden" is hands down one of the best docuseries I've seen on Netflix. It's not just informative - it's edge-of-your-seat gripping. The storytelling is phenomenal, taking a well-known global event and turning it into something that feels fresh, intense, and emotionally powerful.

    The way they structure the timeline, bouncing between past events and the final moments of the manhunt, is done so well that you're never lost, just completely locked in. Even if you know how the story ends, the journey there is filled with suspense.

    The editing deserves serious praise. It's clean, sharp, and incredibly effective in building tension. The series seamlessly blends real footage, interviews, and dramatized clips to keep things moving without ever dragging or feeling confusing. Every episode leaves you wanting more - no filler, no fluff.

    What I loved most is how it doesn't just focus on the mission, but also gives space to the people involved - the intelligence officers, Navy SEALs, and even those on the emotional side of the aftermath. It's respectful, smart, and powerful.

    If you're into true crime, war history, or just love really well-made documentaries, this is a must-watch. Netflix nailed it with this one.

    A Masterclass in storytelling

    As a documentary filmmaker myself that loves soaking up the genre, I was totally absorbed by American Manhunt: The Search for Osama bin Laden. It's a masterclass in storytelling - seamlessly blending an engaging, complex narrative and world class production techniques that feels both cinematic and deeply informative.

    The level of detail and cohesion across such an immense body of material is extraordinary. From the tragedy of 9/11 to the final raid, the series unpacks the manhunt with precision, clarity, and tension. The edit is tight, the cast of interviewees is extensive and well-chosen, and the tone is pitch-perfect throughout.

    This is high-calibre documentary work - a triumph of structure, research and emotional weight. Huge respect to everyone involved. If you appreciate exceptional documentary craft, this one deserves a spot high on your list.
