Madeleine McCann An ID Murder Mystery

Doesn't appear to be working.
But if the title is anything to go by, it will be cack

I didn't read the message - it does work.

No, but it seems to be all of the same interviewees though.

I haven't seen the Netflix series but at 7 minutes that clown MWT believes Matt went inside the apartment at 9pm to check.  He does well if he can get any facts right. How can he be taken seriously? The devil is in the detail does not apply to him!

I've watched the whole of the ID offering now and it is stuffed with factual errors.

But that is the whole point of an alleged true-crime 'documentary'.  The talking heads are selected on their ability to be entertainment.  Investigative fact is merely collateral damage.

My thanks to pathfinder73 for bringing this effort to my attention.

I'm glad you've watched it so we don't now have to.

In my opinion there wasn't much of interest. Neil Berry claimed that Madeleine plunged off the boat and into the sea on Thursday morning to get his daughter's hat which had fallen in. A Metodo 3 employee admitted he offered Makinka half a nillion to talk. Brian and Patrick Kennedy and the Haynes Hubbards spoke. I would be surprised if they did that against the McCann's wishes.

Basically the 'talking heads' have no idea how they will be used or edited so always a risky business for them.

What is the provenance of this 'documentary' ... did the 'talking' heads know what programme they were contributing to, or were they pirated from elsewhere?

The interviewees were fine and much as one would expect but I found the voice over to be totally inaccurate in parts.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'voice over'.  Amaral?

One of the key facts that struck me was that the programme was narrated in a US accent.  Presumably the original was aimed at a target audience of the US and Canada, but I don't know.  It could be anywhere English speaking.

It's no worse than many of the offerings on the subject.  I consider that most who have studied the case would find the flaws.

But most people on Planet Earth have not put time and effort in researching the case, and for those, it was much better than nothing.

I have always assumed a voice-over is a commentary given by an off camera presenter to provide explanation or continuity.

Amaral was a translation ... which I suppose could also be referred to as a voice-over since it was ... as opposed to using subtitles.

I wonder why this question is being asked about the McCanns?

Are they still together?
