Suburban Nightmare: Chris Watts

I have seen the other documentary on this case, but I decided to watch this one as well.

Right away, at the start, they reveal it all. It was like a spoiler right at the beginning where they told you exactly what happened and who did it.

Most of the "experts" in the documentary provide commentary like emotional teens would comment on social media. They are judgmental and jump to conclusions. Now, obviously, they already know the outcome, but they should comment on the case as if they wanted to understand it and find out the truth, rather then as if they are writing a fictional story.

The psychotherapy expert labels Chris a narcissist, yet throughout the documentary there is no indication that he was one. In fact, he was described as the complete opposite. He wasn't flashy, he didn't like to be in centre of attention, he wasn't manipulative, he was calm and collected, he avoided confrontation and he didn't like that Shannan filmed him and posted him on social media all the time. Yet, here we have this expert just throw that label on him.

The FBI expert provided comments that at times sounded like I was listening to an angry mob posting comments on social media. There was no expertise in any of it.

It all sounded like the commentary was done to add drama and to rile the viewer up, because we know that planting negative feelings in someone is a good way to keep them hooked. That's what social media has been doing to get people addicted and that's what advertisers on social media do to get you to comment on their posts.

The documentary did not seem credible to me.

Another thing I thought was off was that the jump cuts were too quick and at times the pace seemed to be much too fast. You didn't even have a chance to absorb something and they're already jumping to a completely different thing.
