Call me skeptical but most of the documentaries on Netflix are just entertainment. Selective filtering of facts, build up to a “gotcha moment”, all wrapped up in a tidy bow.

They are about as balanced and factual as a Facebook.

It’s really a disease. I see a lot of conversation about falsities flying around on Twitter and Facebook, but Netflix documentaries are extremely bad. Even the super famous Tiger one when the pandemic started was extremely lopsided and omitted tons of context and facts.

The latest one about the Cecil hotel is hot trash. They take an interesting story about the missing woman, entertain ridiculous conspiracy theories, interview so called “Internet sleuths” (what the hell?) only to wrap up at the end with “yeah, no mystery, she had a mental illness”.

Reminds me of the YouTube video that take 15 min to explain a 30 second concept.

History channel and regular cable TV had that programming too. I guess it was only a matter of time.
