really glad i've watched it! I actually really enjoyed this documentary. It contains all of the aspects of Elisa Lam and Cecil Hotel phenomenons. Before starting the documentary i read the reviews and thought "Oh great, there's another netflix documentary which is unnecessarily long and contains parts that have no connection with the story line at all." I agree Netflix does sometimes do that. And i started watching the documentary with this state of mind but turns out, it was nothing like that and surprised me so much. I loved how it all covers up so many things which seem to be unrelevant at first but in fact has a lot to do with the actual situation. I learned not only the true and logical story about the mysterious event but also so much about the streets of LA at that time, how social media can effect an ongoing situation and lynch culture. As far as I understand, some people really wanted to learn the actual story in a few minutes and pass on to another thing on Netflix, that's why they don't like it. But a reminder: this is not a news channel. They are trying to make it as much as interesting by building the suspense through out the doc and they don't wanna give you what actually happened in the beginning, which is understandable and entertains me the most. They give you a theory and they support it with arguments, and then they do the same with completely opposite theory! So you're trying to figure out which could be the reality, while watching it. They do everything to confuse you, to even make you create your own theories and while they are doing all of these, they also feed your curiosity. This is being comprehensive, not "extending the documentary into hours". Another thing i liked about the production is that when you watch it you dont only get to know the situation, you also learn a lot about the things that may effect it, you get to know the circumstances around the time that event occured, you get to know people's first thoughts around that time and now etc. I loved how they reached out the people who we wanted to hear from most, like the former manager of Cecil Hotel, the creepy musical guy and the Hotel personnel that found the body first... For me, Cecil Hotel was a production that was perfectly executed and edited and has left me with no unanswered questions in the end. Im glad Netflix does things like that, since most of the people don't seem to appreciate that kind of work.
