This documentary was literally the equivalent of scrolling through a Reddit thread of people convinced they’ve cracked the case.
Why give these stupid conspiracy theorist youtuber’s so much screen time? 🤦♀️ Just give us the evidence and go. -
1) No need for it to be as long as it is.
2) Poor morbid, wishing him the best.
3) Take your prescription medications as prescribed.
4) YouTube sleuths are annoying and over dramatic. That guy who was crying, dude give me a break. -
was going so well until it did a 180 and went full conspiracy theories that pulled away the focus from elisa and honestly? it’s kinda disrespectful. also stop repeating the same information every 3 minutes like we heard you??

were they actually that surprised that a death metal musician wrote songs about death
-
the hotel manager was so aggressively defensive lmao
also..
🌟justice for morbid🌟 -
you can’t make an entire miniseries capitalizing off conspiracy surrounding a woman’s tragic accidental death and then spend the last 15 minutes preaching about how people shouldn’t capitalize off conspiracy surrounding a woman’s tragic accidental death
-
Netflix seemingly pumps these out and prefers sensationalism over detailing a true crime case with care. It jumps around point to point in an odd way without much cohesion nor focus.
Also Amy Price is just as tone deaf as this whole docuseries.

This was so bad. I lost it when the ~web sleuth~ started crying about her like he actually knew her. On top of that they bring in conspiracy youtubers for actual commentating on the disappearance. They entertain the idea that vague coincidences with a movie and a hard metal singer somehow were involved with her death🤡
-
This should have been a 90 minute documentary film about the tragic death of Elisa Lam and how her mental health was a contributing factor. Instead we get a 4 part documentary series and is more interested in the bullshit conspiracy theories by the online sleuths and the backstory of the Cecil Hotel. This documentary series felt very crass and should little respect to Elisa's family.

Entirely sensationalist, ridiculously irresponsible documentary that shows the shitty, infectious nature of YouTube “sleuths” and the fact that they can just operate on speculation unchecked, and spread insanity easily. People wonder how conspiracy theories proliferate so easily; look no fucking further
