Comparison with the case of Sofia Herrera in Argentina

Like Maddie, Sofia disappeared while she was with her parents and a couple of friends. They went to spend a Sunday on a campground on the road. The baby got out of the car and ran behind his father while he was looking for a repair to extinguish the fire. On the way home, his father thought that he had gone from the front to return to his mother's home. His mother thought I was always with him.

In the case of Madeine, the parents are suspected of being the murderers of their daughter, in the case of Sofia too, although it is not for Justice (as in the case of Maddie) but a psychic has accused them in front of the police. "We continue to denounce the bully and the murderer," wrote the visionary on his Facebook profile. "Parents abandoned, thieves Let justice raise the small court of 4 x 2 and find Sofi.Show your innocence, it is very easy, gentlemen.They are accused of badbadinations, show that it is not is not the case, because we know very well that you lost your life in an episode of domestic violence. "

Despite multiple research hypotheses, we do not know what happened to these girls.

Good points

A compilation of pre-existing interviews, images of archives and recreation, the documentary. attempts to reconstruct the extraordinary circumstances surrounding Madeleine's disappearance and the ensuing investigation.

Mix everything hypothesis, and as if it were a book of "Choose your own adventure", we look at a theory and draw our own conclusions

Points against

The series is not without failures. With a run time of about eight hours, he feels unnecessarily bulky and uncomfortable before so much. tendentious manipulationespecially if it is considered that it does not provide new information on the case itself.

In an instant, the series becomes a "Witch hunt" where everyone is suspicious. The viewer becomes judge and is the hangman of the story. An example of this is in the scene of "Corpse Dogs" (canines trained to search for corpses). These two trained dogs, let believe in the forensics that Madeleine McCann could are dead in the holiday complex Praia da Luz.

In a drastic and energetic way, the viewer thinks that parents are to blame for everything but in the series they never clarify that there was no evidence to prove that Madeleine was the source of the DNA detected by the dogs.

Curious fact

On December 14, 2010, the site Wikileaks He revealed that the British police "had helped develop the case with evidence" against Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine's parents, according to secret diplomatic documents that were leaked.

British police contributed to the development of the investigation by using test evaluation laboratories and sending police dogs to Portugal.

Will there be a second season?

Apparently not. There would be no reason for a second season.

Is it worth it to be seen?

Yes, of course, even if on the Netflix platform, the crime is exposed as means of entertainment and a witch hunt. It does not stop being exciting for the viewer to know the case.

It all comes down to the approach and the badumptions presented. If there is one thing we can "learn" from the disappearance of Madeleine McCann on Netflix, it is that we, as spectators, have the responsibility to remind ourselves that we do not have access to the cause, we're just looking at a documentary.

Let's not be complicit in the "witch hunt", but, on the contrary, let's be critical, let's think about the role of justice and the media. Are you really interested in finding out what happened to Maddie? or is it more profitable than ever? . Draw your own conclusions.
