Netflix are on a roll with "unsolved mystery" type programmes.
Reaction to JonBenét Ramsays murder and Madeleine's disappearance seem to have followed the same path in many ways and are now firmly enshrined as entertainment.
Entertainment for us ... immeasurable grief and horror for the family. I think it reminiscent of Roman damnatio ad bestias.
Quote
"It became an entertainment event for a lot of the media, sadly...It boosted ratings, attracted viewers, to develop that controversy."
"You know the pain, the intense pain that we felt was the loss of our child. The accusations and the finger pointing weren't significant. We were deeply crushed by the loss of our child, particularly in the manner that it happened."

Snip
According to the reviews, some scenes are played for dark humour, while the film also features a sequence in which the young actors auditioning for the role of Burke (JonBenet's brother) violently shatter watermelons, to demonstrate whether or not they would have had the strength to smash JonBenet's skull.
