I felt like it was trying to tell a fictional story based on a false narrative. We spent how long going through that video for clues that amounted to them potentially linking him to North America based on a vacuum?

And then how did they connect it to Luka Magnotta? A burner account, presumably from Luka himself, through a private message. They really didn't do anything except what Luka wanted, creating an audience. They were being toyed with. The fact the documentary just glosses over the fact that it was some random burner account that did everything shows the narrative they were trying to sell.

Even with the murder video, that they tried to contact Toronto police while at the same time the actual Montreal detectives had already found Magnotta's ID, had video of him dumping the remains, and were searching for him before the internet guys knew it was a Montreal murder.

Instead of trying to make these guys out to be fake detective geniuses, that they had solved anything before the police, I think they could have focused much more on how these guys thought they were trying to find a kitten killer, only to have it become a truly horrifying experience when they realize they were being messed with (and especially how horrifying it would have been for that one lady with the video of her workplace).

I think they touched on it best at the end with the breaking of the fourth wall and should have focused more on that, more on how these guys gave Luka the audience he wanted.
