This is the worst thing I have ever seen. A six year old child is abducted and murdered, and we are faced with loads of self involved adults. Absolutely sickening, the people involved in this production should be deeply ashamed of themselves. It's been a long time since I've witnessed something so completely offensive. Jonbenet deserves more.

This didnt make sense at any point! Whats the purpose?? Nothing new brought to the table, just gossip and exploration of the pour girls tragic death. They got their 15 mins each...

This was a really boring and upsetting...I don't even know what to call it. Not a documentary and not a movie, just...I don't know. It was a lot of unknown wannabee actors gossiping about a horrible and disgusting murder of a little girl. They don't know anything more than what the papers and blogs write and they have this chance to just throw out their opinions. In between outlandish ideas and theories some of them brag about their own beauty pageants and talk about anecdotes from their own lives. I watched this to see more about JonBenét Ramsey, not strangers I never heard about and don't care about. If I wanted to hear peoples opinions and theories I would have read more blogs instead, And I have read a lot of blogs and forum about this case and many others and have a high tolerance, but there was some parts of this that made me really uncomfortable. This is a...whatever...that's on television. I expect higher quality than on some obscure forum. Especially one thing that stood out to me was the guy that talked about his breast *. I mean, good for him or whatever, but this was about a horrible, disgusting murder of a six- year old that may have been sexually molested! To let people talk about their interest in bondage felt so disrespectful to JonBenéts memory. Really horrible and I don't get how anybody could think that that was okay. It was not the only time I reacted negatively, but it was by far the worst. With all of this said, I have to be honest and say that I didn't even see it all. I fast- forwarded and hoped it would get better. It never did. This program was not about the case, but I honestly have no idea what it was about or why anybody felt that this had to be done. It felt like everybody in it got a chance to have fifteen minutes of fame on the expensive of a little girl. They said that they felt it was tragic, they shed some tears but in the end I just got the feeling that they enjoyed have something chocking to gossip about. Left me upset and with a bad taste in my mouth!

This was the first Netflix original/Straight to Netflix movie that I had seen, so despite the mostly positive reviews, I was a little leery. However, as I said in my Title, it is an interesting angle on something most of us are very familiar with: JonBenet's tragic unsolved murder. I know many other critics have gone into deeper levels and deeper meanings, but honestly, I just thought on the surface that it was very interesting. Whenever you hear people talking about this case, it's usually those with a vested interest in a particular outcome, and they are attempting to spin it. Hearing from "typical" locals (well, at least the ones who were trying out to play John and Patsy Ramsey, and other people related to this case), and what they know and think about the case was interesting. Most were extremely passionate regarding their feelings about this case, and while maybe not 100% accurate, I'm sure they are an accurate reflection of what many people around Boulder, as well as around the world, think about this case, even if it's sometimes not the politically correct way to talk about it. I also am wondering what the original intention of this film was. Were they really going to make a movie about JonBenet, and then it evolved into this documentary? Or was it always the intention to make a film like this, and the so-called JonBenet film is merely a prop to get to what we see on the screen? At this point, I haven't seen anything written about this. Finally...I would take the majority of "1" ratings in this section with a grain of salt. Why? Whenever I see a string of dramatically low ratings for well-reviewed movies, or dramatically high ratings for average films (see the number of "10" ratings for the abysmal "Lambert and Stamp" documentary on The Who managers), I click on the profiles to see how many reviews they've done in addition to this one. At this point in time, there are seven ratings with a "1", and for five people, this is the only film they've ever reviewed. That leads me to believe that these five so-called reviewers are not at all objective, and have some unknown agenda they are trying to perpetuate. Perhaps they are friends of the Ramsey family? We'll never know. And if these same people choose to negatively rate my review on account of this, so be it.
