Which 'TV box set' are you currently watching?

That was my first though Eek

Sorry for the spoiler, but it has a Scooby Doo style ending in which Kate and Gerry rip multiple masks off to eventually uncover Kate and Gerry.

Gerry McCanns accent man Mccringe

sounds like Naisy but about 10 times more whiny and higher pitched.

Third episode in.

Absolute shambles from the start. Leaving '3' kids alone in a room in a foreign country to begin with is fucking insanity.

I don't know about that tbh, they were very close to the apartments, I would say that happens or happened all the time when families are on holiday.

Watched the first episode. Major JFK assassination researcher Anthony Summers is one of the talking heads in it. His JFK books are well worth a read

I watched it all today (quiet day Monty But

)

The documentary doesn't lean to either side but I feel if you were baw deep in the case then it would be a bit disappointing. Doesn't seem to scratch the surface on many things.

I tend to find the sex trafficking theory more plausible than the police theory that they hid the body and then transferred it somewhere 25 days later when the eyes of the world were on them. Saying that, there are forums that say Gerry McCann disposed of a fridge where a body could have been stored but there is no evidence of it as far as I can see. Also seen things about one of their friends there that night being a relative of a UK MP. Could go down the rabbit hole on all this shit.

The only certainty is the Portuguese police were unbelievably corrupt and the McCanns were very strange people.

I was talking about this the other day. It does seem a bit irresponsible but they were only round the corner and checking every 20mins. The only reason you would never think about doing it now is because of Madeline Mccann.

Fuck knows, maybe not as young as her but i definitely remember being on my todd on holiday when my parents were down at the pool or whatever. Never really seemed like a big deal.

They got an extremely easy time of it from the media due to who they were and their professions.

I don't believe for a minute they'd have got half as much exposure or money to pay their mortgage amongst other things from the donations to their fund, if they were an unemployed or minimum wage couple from Easterhouse/Pilton/Dundee.

They should never have left their kid, but it was glossed over at the time and still is now. It's a shit situation, but they only have themselves to blame. Monty Oh Well

**Shuto Makino** · 03-16-2019, 08:30 AM

Love how Floyd's immediate thought on hearing Lewis and Morph's parents did the same was 'what if the McCanns were unemployed schemies' Titter

**Big Physical Acey** · 03-16-2019, 08:49 AM

The Guardian gave the documentary 1 star - more importantly, is it recommended by the THF?

**Steven Toast** · 03-16-2019, 08:54 AM

I turned it off after 20 minutes. Thought it was boring tbh.

Monty Oh Well

**Zizou** · 03-16-2019, 08:58 AM

It's padded out with lots of coastal shots of the Algarve etc but it's decent if you are interested in the case.

Chrambo · 03-16-2019, 09:01 AM

Full of filler, could have been half the length.

Thought it was pretty shite overall.

Shteve · 03-16-2019, 10:09 AM

It's not brilliant. Chewed through 4 episodes last night and wasn't exactly buzzing for the next one. I will finish it though.

**The Great Khali** · 03-17-2019, 01:10 AM

Afterlife was brilliant. Sob

**Shuto Makino** · 03-17-2019, 10:36 PM

Not so much a box set as a Youtube mini series, but Evolve MMA are doing a series where fighters compete to get on their fight team and it's Quite Good

Three episodes in so far, this is the first:

Half Time Guest · 03-18-2019, 10:04 PM

Just started episode two of the McCann documentary. Absolutely staggering that they left the kids in the apartment in the first place. Even more so when it states in the first episode that the apartment door was kept unlocked whilst the adults were having their meal.

What the fuck were they all thinking.

Fraggle · 03-18-2019, 10:18 PM

Anyone been watching Baptiste?

With the apartment looking right on to a main road as well. As horrible as the situation is, the McCann's were so negligent it's scary.

I thought it was quite a fascinating documentary, tbh. Could maybe have been a couple of episodes shorter, but overall decent. With the Guardian's review, were they expecting them to crack the case at the end? Warnock
