Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

cahiroconnor Mind blowing documentary from start to finish. So many twists and turns

ionajwhite98 Yes the story is interesting and yes four (one hour long) episodes isn't a lot but they could have done the whole story in two.I felt like I watched the same scenes numerous times, the same info was given repeatly making me feel I had already watched this episode. Honestly if your going to watch it; watch episode 1 & 4 and the story will be told the exact same. Bit of a waste of time.Also Majorie is a loud & annoying which is no fault of the documentary but I don't need to see the same scenes of her screaming a tangent repeatly throughout multiple episodes.Far too dragged on to spill the beans in the last ten minutes of episode 4...

sian_deakin For me this is not actually the incredible story of how evil these criminals are, but the story of how unbelievably stupid the crime agencies were, and how broken the US justice system was when it focused its pursuit of justice on one mentally ill woman for a crime ultimately perpetrated by a group that included four men. It would have been good to see a little more critical thinking on the behalf of the directors in this respect. The series does go a good way to build suspense with twists and turns, but is also gratituous in its use of the footage showing Brian Wells' death. Give the man some dignity. It is laughable when the co-Director suggests that Bill Rothstein went to his grave "protecting Marge" when from the outset he is the one attempting to frame her alone for the murder of Brian Wells, and even more laughable to watch the footage of how the police and FBI lap up his version of events, leading him to escape justice and setting anyone coming into contact with this case (including the directors of this show) well and truly on the path of the witch hunt of Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong. She is no innocent but neither are her co-conspirators in the bank robbery. But throughout the criminal investigation and the show itself, her culpability is the driving force, depicting her as the ringleader or the mastermind of the whole affair, with no evidence to support it. No one, including the directors, seems to question the conflict of interest/self-servance when it comes to the testimonies of the male co-conspirators, that are ultimately used to convict Marge of the crimes relating to the bank robbery. In that respect this show is a fascinating insight into the backwards way in which justice is served in the US, ie via the path of least resistance. This show is ok but could have been great with more analysis of the real key themes, and objectivity on the part of the directors.

rabbitmoon I've been struggling to get into shows of late, so was happy to find myself hooked on this documentary series, watching it all in just over a day. Its just mind-blowing. Each episode has its own strong stories that would work well as a stand-alone event, except that they are all related in complex ways and tell this insane over-arching plot. The mystery that unfolds from the bizarre SAW-like first episode is so unpredictable and twisty, right up to the very last moments. Its fascinating watching interviews, hearing bits of pieces of information, and finding your mind folding in on itself as you try to suss people out, think about motives, all the 'what ifs' etc. There is something always eerie and atmospheric about seeing evidence, street footage of locations, news footage, tying it all together like you're a voyeuristic detective. I thought it was brilliantly researched and edited, and never a dull moment. I'd have loved for a body language expert like Paul Ekman (or someone like his fictional protege Cal Lightman from Lie to Me) to analyse the interviews for 'tells' as they were plentiful. With incredible true-stories like this, brilliantly told, I struggle to justify why I'd want to watch a made-up story with self-conscious actors and gimmicky direction. There's so much more to learn, and substantial food for thought from real life.
