Found this documentary far superior to justice for Sophie. As usual Netflix knocked out another superb documentary with every single fact that they could present leaving the viewer to make up their own mind. Born & bred in Cork I have grown up with this story, like everybody, wanting to know did he do it! This documentary covers everything from the timeline of the crime, the inexperience of the Gardai that contributed to a flawed investigation, a focus on Sophie & her family (which the other doc lacked), interviews with witnesses who were there at the time who knew Ian well & could recount their version of events while letting the main suspect Ian himself also participate. The whole unbiased picture. I see someone mentioned it had a disappointing ending but of course the "ending" is disappointing in that we do not know who killed Sophie or rather can't prove who did. I wonder will we ever truly know. But in terms of the ending I loved the way that Netflix put the focus back on Sophie. After all this is a story about a beautiful woman who fell in love with the most stunning area of Ireland (where we literally left our keys in the door at night), a safe haven, only to be brutally murdered. Well done Netflix. I hope one day there will be justice for Sophie and her family.
