Informative and Entertaining

Wow! This is definitely one of my top five favorite true-crime documentaries. The directors definitely know how to keep you on the edge of your seat. I didn't know how they'd be able to expand this story into three episodes but it was done very well. They had access to so much footage not only from the day of the event but even during the day's long manhunt. Things I didn't even know happened were revealed. The amount of interviewees they had gave you a perspective at almost every angle. Nobody was excluded from telling their story no matter how they felt. They even had a friend of one of the bombers who expressed concern over his friend's death. While controversial, including this goes to show how real and raw the documentary is.

One thing that I didn't like was how Muslims and Arabs were portrayed. Although it seems unintentional, it definitely makes all Muslims and Arabs look bad. They compare this tragedy to others like 9-11. They also include how he was raised in a Muslims family which suggested that's what led him to these terrible events.
