Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Expectations were high before the series that because the McCanns had criticised it and refused to take part that it meant the series would be highly critical if not down right accusatory of the parents.  The fact that it wasn’t caused much gnashing of teeth and carpet chomping in certain quarters.  IMO.

She sounds a very bitter person,  talks a lot about money.    Sharing his Christmas with a beggar?    What Amaral did in his position was what I would expect any detective to do.   Who is right though,  she says he worked long hours looking for Madeleine,  yet a reporter who was watching him said he spent hours over lunch.

I didn’t realise how many supporters the parents Facebook page had lost since 2015. This screenshot from Gerrymccannblogs confirms in 2015 they had over 621,000 ‘likes’ yet now they have little more than 504,000.

OG asked the McCann's not to talk about Madeleine when it was coming up to the anniversary of 11 years missing. i
I believe that is why they didn't want to take part,   it could interfere with the investigation.  IMO

On one of sceptics Facebook forums, many are angry and declared their decision to stop watching it after a couple of episodes.
Obviously couldn't handle the way the programme was developing in supporting the abduction. IMO

I think many are angry at what was left out of the documentaries. It’s easy to convince people of something if you don’t tell them the whole story.

Yet Gamble, that consummate professional, took part and the Hubbards, supposedly close friends of the McCanns.

I also believe that the PIs working for the McCanns all signed a non disclosure agreement, agreeing that they would not talk about what happened within the private investigation. Exton confirmed this in the Times article about the efits. How then was the Metodo3 representative able to talk on camera without the express permission of the parents and their lawyers ?

I think the series tried to be objective.

I think the series tried to be objective.

I think by the end of episode 4 you might well have found yourself being suspicious of the parents, but then i think that was a device to reel you in, the rest of the series made it clear that there was no evidence against the McCanns and that they were victims of incompetence, intimidation and deceit at the hands of the PJ and that in the opinion of the programme makers Madeleine was the victim of a stranger abductor with connections to the paedophile underworld.

As I said, equally balanced. Most of it was a repeat of people's opinions, but it did provide a couple of interesting pieces of information.

I think you are mistaking "painting a picture of the McCanns as guilty in the first 4 hours" for being objective.

At the end of the series were you left with the opinion that the series came to no conclusions about whether or not the parents were involved?

I don't suppose they had in-depth knowledge of the case. All they knew was that opinion is divided and they id reflect that imo.

No.
