I finished it last night, honestly the first few episodes were great - Very interesting. I think the 7th one was interesting too but it could have been 3 episodes long if not less.

Before watching I thought they sedated the kids and overdosed her and removed the body etc. I still think it is a possibility too but I lean more towards Gerry being responsible. Kate I do believe for some reason, can't even say why she just seems genuine.

However after the documentary and knowing that there were paedophiles in the area and a suspected abduction was thwarted just days before really close by of a child of a similar age really struck me, especially as a girl wearing nightwear like Maddie was seen being carried in the street by people can't be ignored.

I still blame the parents for leaving her ultimately but I am not so sure they harmed her like I once was.

tbh I think I only believed the parents did it theory because it was more interesting to me and the cadaver scent in the room and house seemed pretty damning. I also wasn't as away of human trafficking as I am now, because that really is the theory that makes the most sense.

Yeah I am pretty much set on human trafficking or a paedophile now.

I think the dog thing is the only part that even swayed me but some of that doesn't make much sense...why did it signal the corpse was in the passenger seat? did they prop her up in the front seat with sunglasses on? If it had been the backseat or boot I'd have been much more suspicious tbh

Oh the power of a Netflix documentary

The McCann case I don't know that much about (mind have read almost all of the files and thats what made up my mind, not media headlines) though was obsessed with it at one point, not watched yet and not sure if I plan to given the reactions as tbh, I genuinely cannot see how anyone could look into it all and come away convinced of the parents innocence, which is what is apparently happening. I mean, this is off a sun story right, so not posting the link but the caption...

'Madeleine McCann Netflix viewers convinced Maddie was secretly drugged by kidnapper hours before he broke into room to snatch her'

And this seems to be echoed everywhere, sorry but this is absolutely..ridiculous to me.

Documentary appears to have been mainly spin, which is unsurprising but pretty disappointing as I do tend to find netflix documentaries more..probing than most others (exceptions exist of course, but speaking geneally). 8 hours of nonsense about burglars leaving valuables and taking a dead child, and random abductors lurking in the shadows will just annoy the hell out of me, but will probably watch at some point.

Anyway, the documentary seems to have done what it was meant to, and convinced another few people that the parents had nowt to do with it. So it did its job, also probably reopened the coffers of the fund that was running dry so maybe they will have the 30k to pay Amaral now, after trying to ruin his life because he had the audacity to say he, and the police at the time, thought it was dodgy as hell. That they dared to look at the parents first, you know, like in ever child abduction/murder...parents/family are ALWAYS the first suspects, not random shadowy pedos who might have been hanging around waiting for the parents to neglect their kids again, to look away so they could drug the girl, then come back later that night to take her

Sp yeah, not watched yet as responses sound like it would raise my blood pressure a lot. Theres a lot of odd things in this saga, but I always come back to the dogs. Those 'notoriously unreliable' highly trained dogs that everyone knows are useless and always get stuff wrong, which is of course why police use them in the first place! Along with so many of the 'they are innocent!' stories requiring so much mental gymnasics and acceptance of things that just make no sense at all (eg. the burglars accidentally killing her, then hiding her behind the sofa for a bit while they stood around arguing about what to do, then leaving cash and valuables and taking the body...umm, yeah if you say so) its unbelievable.

HOW can blood found of Maddie's in a rental car rented TWO WEEKS AFTER she vanished be deemed as insufficient evidence!?

It wasn't her DNA. Basically the Portuguese police just knew DNA was found in the car and someone leaked the story and twisted it.

They discuss all the inaccurate news in the documentary, it's mad how much the newspapers manipulated the facts to get a salacious headline.

[Greg!]

I am actually so shook at the Irish man who saw a man carrying a child at night coming out months later saying he thought it was Gerry after seeing him come off the plane!!

[Moniqua]

The Scottish businessman who can't pronounce 'Madeleine' properly is really getting on my wick!

Bc it wasn’t necessarily her DNA/Blood, that’s explained in the documentary

Skip ep 1 if you do watch, it’s pointless, a lot of the eps are filled with filler too

I love the way everyone believes what Netflix says as fact and massive revelations

whatever happened to the little girl (and we wont find that out from a netflix fantasy) the parents were grossly negligent, and I will never understand why they were never charged with that at a minimum

It did bug me that the documentary said something about "cultural differences" meaning that the Portuguese police couldn't understand why they had left the kids alone, because they didn't understand that this is "normal" in the UK. **** off, no it isn't! I don't know anyone who would do it!

yeah at the beginning when they were talking about how relatable it is to leave your kids on their own to have dinner
