This Is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist

This documentary series tells the story of the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and what happened there one night back in March 1990, the most infamous art theft in history.

The case itself is a fascinating one, one I studied years ago, you will be shocked, you'll be surprised, you may also get a tiny bit bored.

This four part documentary series, was too long, the first two episodes are very good, they should have made this a two part series, the last two parts drag a bit, and unfortunately lack any real content.

It's of course very well made, contains some very interesting details, you will see the ripple effect of the crime, it took its toll on so many people associated with The Museum.

Lots of old rogues and criminals, it really is a good old fashioned rogues gallery, interesting to learn the fate of those suspected.

After a good start it just becomes a little too slow and conjecture based. 6/10.

One episode of facts, three episodes of speculation and conjecture. This didn't need to be four episodes long. Might have been a decent 60-90 minute documentary. But we live in an age of streaming where *everything* has to be stretched into a series.

Interesting topic told in a boring way A very interesting topic that was unfortunately told in a boring way. To date, a reward of 10 million US dollars has been offered for apprehending the perpetrators. In "The Greatest Art Theft in History", Netflix takes us into a particularly exciting case that is still puzzling. All in all, however, it falls short of expectations and goes in circles very interesting topic that was unfortunately told in a boring way.

Admittedly, nothing earth shattering is revealed or solved, but having no prior knowledge, I found the case quite interesting. There's some humor and quite a cast of characters involved. The interviewees are credible, in most cases it's those who were there as it happened.

This has got to be an embarrassing case for the FBI, who put a lot of resources to no result in all this time. I'm now interested and would love to know who really took these pieces and where they've been for all these years.

This documentary had a killer title, but it was such a drag to watch.

It feels badly put together. The music is really distracting and too loud. It's hard to focus on the interviews.

It's an ADHD nightmare. I couldn't really focus on anything because it kept jumping from one thing to another without really putting the pieces together or closing any topic.
