Like a lot of people, I love a good unsolved mystery and the D. B. Cooper case has always intrigued me. It's one of the most brazen crimes ever committed, but also one of the most impressive in its perfect planning and flawless execution.
So I was expecting to enjoy this Netflix docu-series, but unfortunately it wasn't what I was hoping it would be. Instead of a deep-dive into the case and Cooper's potential identity, there's one half-decent episode that focuses on the case and three filled with ridiculous conspiracies and delusional, self-important private investigators milking their 15-minutes of fame.
The first episode would have been fine as a standalone. Unfortunately Netflix tried to string it out as a mini-series, and the rest was pretty awful.
