    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starts off as an interesting story, but quickly gets super boring. You can tell that MCDs had a huge amount of oversight as they keep mentioning how cooperative they were in assisting. Could have been an interesting documentary film, but not a series.… Expand

    An okay documentary.. goes on a little too long. It’s still interesting, but nothing you HAVE to watch.

    It is the characters who carry the series, which is remarkably unstylish in execution and rushes through parts of the investigation where you might have preferred it to linger, and lingers where you might have preferred it to pick up the pace a little.

    It would have made a better Hollywood film than documentary series, were it not for one man who makes the whole thing irresistible. ... When Mathews is on screen, McMillions is a winner.
