I found the Cecil Docuseries fine. Just like don't eff with cats it adds in the interwebs sleuthing as a part of the entire story. Which is true. Rabid dogs off a leash.

And aside from their refusal to believe the autopsy reports and carry on throwing dirt on an innocent person, this group was also creepy AF. Their involvement in trying to help became a part of her sad story. And kind of overshadowed it a fair bit.

But yes, they could have definitely tossed out the sleuthing and kept to the story and only made it one or two episodes and it would have been a good watch.

But to me, it's a look into modern society and how these leeches latch onto tragedy and take it for themselves.

Man, that one balding dude really creeper me out, I'm like 100 percent certain he was stalking her before. And having someone go to her resting place and touch her headstone for him....shudder.

I enjoyed it, but I agree with you on the length. I was aware of the story, but obviously not a lot of the little details after. The whole story ended up being exactly what I thought it was from the start, but it was decent.


I actually found the web sleuth stuff interesting. Watching many of them just lose it and fall into conspiracies because of coincidences, or reaching too much struck a chord with me. I've seen this happen to several friends and family members over the past year on various topics, and it was odd to see how it all happens. I'm actually recommending it to some of those people for that very reason, to see if will recognize that behaviour..


As for those web sleuths, man that one guy with the touching of the gravestone just weirded me out...
