I was hanging for this doco then realised it was coming from the house of excess - Netflix.
There wasn't a requirement for 3 hours of episodes for what should have been a 90-120 min at best doco. A lot of padding, excess and repetitive storytelling, it goes a bit nowhere and is at times boring.
Then they have just a few families talking, if it's going to drag on perhaps more diverse interviews. A lot of shots of Kuala Lumpur over and over.
It's all just filler.
By half way in episode 1, I had no idea what storytelling narrative they were going with. And it never felt focused.
Again lots of shots of Malaysia which have *nothing* to do with this documentary.
Assuming they couldn't get a lot of footage from the real disappearance.
Could have been worse, at least we didn't have actors pretending to be "people" like they weirdly do in kther Netflix docos.
Of all the streamers, Netflix do documentaries the absolute worse.
Disappointing!
