Listen. You have have a compelling real life story and the corrupt tale of law enforcement and have a bad documentary. This doesn't haven't to be 3 episodes long - especially given that the mystery is solved at the end of episode 2 / start of 3, and the rest of the show is padding because Netflix asked the director to make it 3 episodes instead of 2.
I agree this story should spread, but I am judging this documentary on the basis of a documentary, not just it's subject matter - which in my opinion was handled with a childish and amateurish level of drama. The story spent so much time in Denise it failed to even explore the criminals motives or intentions. Forget about Aaron too, he's abandoned by the end of episode 1.
Don't waste your time with this series, you're better off reading the Wikipedia page for this case. At least the show put this case on people's radars - but listen, these 10/10 reviews have completely missed the point of IMDB. If this is a 10/10 DOCUMENTARY, then I don't know what isn't.
This isn't an American Nightmare. The amateur dramatisation comes in here when the smallest story elements are over dramatised to make it sound worse. "For my entire captivity" - it's just 2 days, there are more compelling kidnapping cases which are deserving of the 'nightmare' title. I'm not saying Denise's experience was horrible - it was - but I'm judging the directors and producers exploitation of this story.
It isn't a nightmare, it's a bore fest that leaves you wondering why they even bothered with this case in particular.
