7/10
No tension or suspense

Warning: Spoilers
I know it's a documentary, but they telegraph who the perpetrator is so early on that there is zero tension or suspense or the feeling of a discovery unfolding. Also, the use of actors to portray the anthrax attacker and some others involved in the case, was a poor choice. They should have stuck to using actual footage and photos, along with interviews with real people involved in the case (at least they had those). The actor playing the attacker was just not very good- it was a very cartoonish portrayal. Interesting case though. Also no mention was made of using psychological profiling to catch the anthrax attacker. This seems to be a case that was absolutely suited to such a technique. Was this technique used and if so why didn't this documentary address it?
