These reactions to the Maddie McCann Netflix doc are so relatable it hurts
It was quite the rollercoaster ride
It's been a couple of weeks since Netflix released its latest true crime documentary, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Since airing, the eight-episode series has received mixed reviews. Some are completely hooked on the true crime style portrayal of the case, whilst others say the doc presents no new information and is simply a retelling of what everyone already knew. If there's one thing all the Madeleine McCann documentary reactions agree on – it's that the whole thing was a rollercoaster.
From the beginning to the end your opinion changes so much, and your inner investigator goes from believing one theory to being set on another between each episode.
Here are the Madeleine McCann documentary reactions from start to finish, proving we all feel the same about the doc that has got everyone talking.
1. One episode in and it's full investigator mode

2. Literally everything about this doc is suspicious
Does anyone else find it wierd the mccans still look presentable 130 plus days after maddie went missing. If that were me and one of my kids went missing i would look a reyt mess, Bordering on homeless looking. Unshaven, sleep deprived, weight loss etc #MadeleineMccannNetflix

6. We trust dogs, and dogs only
7. By the middle, you can't help but question if you will actually make it to the end
Half way through the #MadeleineMccannNetflix & I don’t know what to think. What I do know is that they chose to leave their babies, in a foreign country, ALONE in that apartment. I could never do that. #heartbreaking

9. Am I actually learning anything here?
10. Other than Portuguese, of course

11. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW NONE OF US WILL EVER BE THE SAME AFTER EPISODE EIGHT
This was too much Netflix, we trusted you
Ok right though *spoiler alert* that scene in the last episode of the Madeleine McCann documentary with the man in the mask sneaking in those kids rooms freaked me the fuck out

12. By the end, your opinions have totally changed
I don't understand how people can still think Kate and Gerry Mccann have
anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance after watching the documentary. Also that main Portuguese investigator is a fucking cuuuuunt.— swagdaddy (@Cazjcks) March 26, 2019
And to think we were all so sure as well.
13. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE ANYMORE
14. These Madeleine McCann documentary reactions sum up EVERYTHING

15. I JUST WANT TO TALK OK
The Madeleine McCann documentary reactions prove one thing – the whole world felt the same watching it. You can't help but feel like an at home, sofa investigator and like your opinions on the case need to be shared with the whole world. But the Netflix documentary was a complete whirlwind and your opinions just kept changing and changing. Then by the end you are left with gaping hole in your brain like WHAT actually happened?? Will we ever know?? Wow, guess I'll never sleep again.
The documentary, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann is still on Netflix to stream worldwide.
