First and foremost, my heart goes out to the victim's family. To wait for decades for justice to be served is not just sad for the family but also for the countries that couldn't close the case.
I think this was a well made documentary that could've been finished in 2:30 hours. I didn't quite understand and relate to the woman who was Sophie but her murder was brutal and the killer is at large. I liked that the accused is given ample screen to put forth his view as much as the family and town people are given to make the case.
All that said, this isn't a staple Netflix true crime documentary where shocks and twists leave you in awe. There are a couple of twists and that's all. The Irish town is well shot and there are some news reel footage but very little to none about victim. After first episode her face starts to fade away from your memory and your whole focus shifts towards the accused.
In the end, you can watch it when you have nothing else to watch but I won't be recommending this to my friends.
