Watch the JCS video instead

Astounding how a large studio with a substantial budget, can't do it better than one guy making YouTube videos. Look up the JCS video on youtube. It's around the same length but goes into this from the criminal psychology angle and absolutely nails it. Netflix tried too hard (as they often do) to ramp up the drama and cinematography and in turn essentially fall flat when it comes to actually giving you what you want from a story like this.

The story of this horrific murder is organically dramatic enough that the erie music is completely unnecessary and takes a lot away from the organic darkness of this case.

Essentially, it's too long for how much it leaves to assumption and too dramatic for how much it takes away from the incident.

Watch the JCS video instead.

Despite my criticisms it is a gripping watch!!

To begin with, the title does not seem well thought out to me at all, and it is not the only thing that is done poorly in this documentary.

I think that this crime story from Canada will appeal primarily to people interested in true crime documentaries, but I must admit as a fan of crime stories, that this one is really dull. They are too many unexplained details, what a disappointment. DNA tests are missing in the house, etc etc..etc..etc .. The most frustrating thing is not having investigated her phone records earlier, incomprehensible! It makes no sense to me.

There are also many repetitive things, to fill time I imagine.

A great part consists of showing archival footage of interviews that Jennifer had with investigators at the Markham police station. Jennifer's father, who is still alive, spoke to police after he came out of his coma, but he's a very minor player in this story and it would have been fascinating to hear more from him. .. I can go on..

There is much more material that they could have used to make a much more interesting and complete documentary, with more respect and responsibility as it should be in these cases. The end seems rushed and a little unclear for me.

For true crime fans who are looking for a quick and interesting crime story, it's worth watching! . It manages to entertaing with some surprising details and twists into it's short running time.

Worth seeing, but a bit lifeless.

Police receive a 911 call from Jennifer Pan, who explains that her parents have been shot at their family home.

First of all, what a drab production, I've just watched another Netflix documentary, Crime Scene Berlin, which was such a slick production, this one, for Netflix was so bland.

The story, it's an interesting one, but the narrative is just off somehow, I don't feel we learned very much at all, very little exploration of Jennifer's relationship with her parents, no alternative theories explored.

The actual footage of Jennifer's interviews is fascinating, and does make the film worth watching. You see some of the techniques used by The Police.

Personally, it must have been tough for her, her parents seemed pretty strict, but what she did, as the title gives away...... unforgivably.

It's a little overlong at 90 minutes long, you may find yourself yawning and fidgeting a little bit.

Worth seeing, but don't expect to be wowed.

6/10.
