I almost didn't watch it due to the negative reviews. It feels like people are leaving reviews of what they think of Elize rather than actually about the watchability of the docu-series.
It is very watchable and interesting. The way the show is directed, you become quite absorbed into the story. You get to really understand who Marcos and Elize were, and why the relationship erupted as it did.
I didn't think Elize came across as likeable. She seems like another Amanda Knox character, quite self-absorbed.
But what this docu-series does do is give a story. And it doesn't just give Elize's version. There are plenty of voices calling Elize out for being a psycho - the prosecutor, the friends of Marcos, and his siblings.
This show isn't a eulogy to the victim, but it also isn't a one-piece propaganda for the murderer.
A series about the murder without Elize's voice would be incomplete. The fact that Elize is very good at portraying herself as Little Miss Innocent is not the fault of the producers. For a discerning viewer who likes to analyse, this docu-series is excellent.
