Crime Scene: The Vanishing at The Cecil Hotel.
Made me absolutely furious, such cheap shit. I wasn't aware of what happened before I watched it but it's a really tragic story of a young woman that goes missing and is later found dead in a rough hotel on Skid Row. The whole thing was really sensationalist with a handful of dislikeable Youtubers who'd "investigated" the death at the time acting as talking heads. The whole horrible incident became a total media circus and the majority of the people involved in the documentary used it as an opportunity to cash in. The entire series was just speculation, with interviews with the actual people involved taken wildly out of context to help progress a narrative
It in absolutely no way sought to address the social inequality or lack of awareness/support of mental health issues that were central to the story. Avoid unless you fancy getting really cross.
