If you can ignore the stupid voiceovers and pointless narrated social media posts, its quite compelling. I lost interest in it as soon as they started showing the views of what I presume are vloggers and they guy who runs a facebook group about the whole thing. Utter wrong uns, especially the ones who went to the hotel as if it was some sort of tourist hot spot. ETA - just getting to the end of the third episode and it’s somehow gotten even more ridiculous. I’m out. Edited February 11, 2021 by PB1994 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Cecil hotel could have been done in one episode, wasn’t up to much. Night stalker is worth a watch tho, really good documentary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Watched the first part of the Hotel Cecil thing and felt it was okay but initially thought that it was going to be just the one episode so I could just about be bothered with it. About twenty minutes left I realised it wasn’t about done and discovered it was spread across four chapters. Then, just before the end of episode one, they introduced a guy who’s little job descriptor read - ‘internet sleuth’.I will not be returning to find out what happened. If anyone wants a decent 40 minute true crime film then ‘Long Shot’ is an interesting story (and unlike Hotel Cecil is over in one go). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night stalker is worth a watch tho, really good documentary. Most of Netflix's, and indeed some other US documentaries could be screened in 2, maybe 3 episodes, but they have a tendency to stretch these things out. I also thought that although Cecil didn't live up to the hype it was ok although those internet "sleuths" took the biscuit. As for the couple from England, who on earth holidays in downtown LA? Have these people never watched The Shield or indeed ANY show set there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oofftt, 24 was fantastic at the time, as you work through the seasons you'll feel the first couple of hours are samey every time, but once shit starts to happen its unreal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m out. Yes. That is the episode I’m on now. I’ve taken a dislike to the British couple too, who don’t seem to add anything to the story. Maybe we’ll find out more from them. Wish it was just the cops and the hoteliers talking about it, because the story itself is nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only watched the first episode but that couple annoy me purely because they're walking down a new City recording their walk ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Season 1 had it's moments but wanted to see what people think before I get into it again. It's being released week by week and I think 3 episodes have been shown so far. I've put it off until I finish Hannibal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The manager from the Cecil Hotel seems both strange and not very bright. How was she in charge for 10 years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was she in charge for 10 years? She strikes me as exactly the kind of person who’d run an absolutely terrible hotel. Her lack of empathy for anyone is almost pathological. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was she in charge for 10 years? Was it 80 people, she said, had died in the hotel in the 10 years she was there? She seemed to think that was totally normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
