As long a time Massachusetts/Boston resident I knew very little about the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum robbery. The series certainly brought me up to date. I agree with the producers that the robbery has not gotten much media attention over the years by the Boston media and the series implies that the Boston Police dept and FBI could have done much better jobs with the investigation. There were two eyewitnesses who directly saw the two robbers prior to entering the museum who were never interviewed by the FBI and Boston Police Dept documentation of their testimonies were inaccurate. The FBI assigned a very junior agent to the case as well. The final minutes of the series finally introduces the identities of two individuals likely to have been the actual robbers....and then the series abruptly ends! So I hope there are more episodes!

As soon as I saw him appear on the documentary and knowing he's a habitual liar and lied about the Boston bombing and being family friends with the family of people who died he said that he was at the bombing which he wasn't I knew that this was going to be a challenge . It was Its could've been a half hour show nothing new to report. One star.

Honestly, there are 20-30 minute YouTube videos/amateur documentaries that go into more detail and do a better job of explaining the events and the theories. Like others have said, this had no business being 4 episodes long. 75% of this seems to be a mob documentary about Boston. There seems to be a lot of fluff and filler - nothing new added to the conversation from what is already widely known (or easily found online)... a lot of fluff, filler, and repeating the same things over again. How many times did the show the screen of "the planners/the crew" throughout the 3.5 hours? 20 or 30 times? Could have been much better if they had asked better questions for the interview segments and attempted an original investigation. If you are interested in this subject I would suggest you watch the much shorter and much more informative "Buzzfeed Unsolved" video on this case and save yourself 3+ hours.

Netflix should stick to buying tv/film/docs off-the-rack, fire all of their programming execs and abandon the whole 'original documentary/series/movie' thing. They clearly can't do it. This 'doc' is another 30 minute story spread out over 4 hours. It's (once again) full of useless interviews, pointless personal stories and tangential filler from various dullards who really have nothing to say.

A short and concise documentary on the art theft at the Boston Gardener Museum, following the investigations and suspected thiefs. The interviews were relevant and the doc had a good flow. A lot of the museum shots were reused often and story sometimes went a bit off topic.

St. Patrick's day is March 17th every single year. It is never on the 18th so the fact they kept saying that made me think the documentary was full of false information. Grrrr.
