Pandora's box

This is only the second review that I have written in 19 years on IMdB. Why this one? Because this was the worst documentary that I have ever watched.

Like many documentaries, different experts were interviewed, including a journalist, a forensic scientists, and a financial investigator... but then they added another two experts. What was their field of expertise? They were "Facebook commentators"! They got two blokes off of a Facebook group to go on telly for one to say "I think the husband did it" and the other to say "after reviewing his body language, I think that he is involved"!

If documentary-makers start doing this, we are ******!

IMdB really need to give ZERO as an option for ratings.

Typical tabloid documentary

Warning: Spoilers
The Melissa Caddick disappearance and financial fraud story captivated Australian media and public attention for some time after it became known in 2020. Typically, this television production erred on the side of conspiracy with neatly edited grabs to stir the viewer's emotions and psychological disposition.

The documentary, later televised as two-parts on streaming channels, favors the sensational at the expense of substantive evidence to support the underlying narrative.

The documentary is also quick to point a sticky finger at a key protagonist (Ms Caddick's husband) who admittedly comes across as less than honest in his interviews with the police, and the scenes of him with his luxury car, a 2016 Audi R8 V10, are deliberately signaled (and perhaps reasonably) in media overdrive.
