Just the usual tease
4 September 2018
In spite of a very interesting story, this is just another one of those crime investigation teasers. As usual there's the reporter (with really white teeth), the ex detective (with really splashy ties) and the poor family, their interview snippets repeated over and over and over and . . .

The problem is first, nothing happens, of course. If they had actually found anything out, it would be on the news. It's like a bigfoot series, of course they didn't find bigfoot, you think wouldn't have leaked out before the show aired? Come on.

Still, one could live with that if the show was properly constructed, but it's not. They waste huge amounts of time with stock footage and bits of interviews hashed over endlessly. This could have been done in two hours, easy. The other four are pure filler. And of course, there's the usual red herrings that go nowhere - is that blood in her trunk? No. Have they found her remains? No. You know the drill, those are not spoilers!

That's too bad, a more talented crew might have done this story more justice. I feel bad for the family being used as infotainment.
