In fact, a group of lawyers went through all 8 hours of the series just to try and find something they can sue the production team over.

It seems like a quick cash grab, as all the information in the documentary was already available to the public; a half an hour read online would have informed you of everything the 8 hour series did. It was definitely entertaining, and worth a watch if you aren&#8217;t clued up on the disappearance, but as someone who has previously researched and formed an opinion on the events, it just feels like 8 hours I&#8217;ll never get back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Which brings me onto my next point. There was literally no opinion in the series, which was disappointing to me. I was wanting to have my opinion challenged, and possibly gain a new understanding on the situation. It was very unbiased and speculative.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, I&#8217;d give the series a 6\/10, because it was well produced, entertaining and well structured, but it didn&#8217;t bring new info to the table.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been on the internet in the last few days, you&#8217;ve likely seen or heard about the Madeleine McCann documentary\/series that has been released on Netflix.\u00a0 It was released on the 15th of March, despite the McCann&#8217;s not being very happy with its production.
