This Netflix doc is badddd, bad, bad. That the crimes are bad goes without saying. But it must be said about the doc itself. Even taking Netflix’s quantity over quality approach to true crime docs, this is a poor exploration not just of the criminal but of the crime. Check the shift schedule. Figure out it could only be Letby. Okay now re-explain that and re-use clips for the next 45 minutes.
