I went in with high expectations of a thorough, reliable documentary, honestly purely based on the fact Trevor Mcdonald was involved. I was very disappointed.
The other low-star reviews outlined the failures quite accurately - it was at most 30 minutes of material drawn out into 2 longer episodes, in that gimmicky way that true crime shows tend to do. It's insulting, really - most of all for the victims and their families, who deserve more respect than to have their names used as a kind of click bait. Much more respectable would have been to make a short documentary briefly recapping the sick history of the crimes, then showing the highlights of the unfortunately unsuccessful attempts at excavation of potential burial sites. Without all the dramatic sets and lightning. The raw material is dramatic enough, you don't need those bells and whistles. It's over the top and disrespectful. It makes one perhaps better understand the unwillingness of the current owners of the farm (potential burial site of up to 20 victims) to allow access to the film crew.
