Sheridan is the weak spot
6 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Sheridan spoils this documentary with his tedious narrative deflecting from the facts that are readily available. No mention of the shoe print at the scene of the crime. No mention of Sophie's affairs, her planning to leave her husband. Myths that no one locked their doors in Schull before the murder when photos show that Sophie did. Silly narrative about "the devil in the woods" and "Her body is in France; her soul is in Ireland". Schull portrayed as a "cosmopolitan" place when it's a desolate place with virtually nothing, populated by a variety of drop-outs. Explaining Sophie's anxiety via premonitions, seeing a ghost on the lake, etc., when there is good reason to believe her anxiety was due to her visiting Schull to end her relationship with yet another lover. The Netflix version is more dispassionate and factual. The Garda incompetence is breathtaking but so is Sheridan's.
