Nothing genius about it
Going by what I can see in the title: "evil genius", "most diabolical bankheist", "the true story of", I figured I'd be in for a treat, but ultimately this was a huge disappointment and quite frankly clickbait. That title is a complete lie.The story is certainly tragic, but it just spills over with speculation and the biggest questions you might have are never answered. Even worse: some questions are not even asked.
Marjorie Diehl can be seen and heard througout the documentary, rambling loudly and incoherently because of her mental issues. While disturbing and sad on one hand, as far as evidence goes, the addition of this footage does nothing. It's simply disturbing footage of a mentally ill woman.
This could've easily be condensed into two episodes and you'd miss nothing. In the end, nothing truly interesting is revealed. If anything, this entire documentary felt like an attempt by the creator to justify the time he wasted all these years.
A very underwhelming experience. 5/10.
score 5/10
