    After each thoroughly convincing argument comes an equally cogent demolishing of it and the construction of another hypothesis. ... It is images such as these—a ghost ship flying into the night, its passengers either dead or terrified—that make "MH370" more than just a gripping investigation or a nonfiction thriller. There is an element of horror in a case in which nothing is settled, and no one gets to rest in peace.

    Where “MH370” succeeds is in laying out the case for three key theories and leaving it to the viewer to determine which is the most plausible.

    MH370: The Plane that Disappeared is strongest in its early going, when it focuses on the initial reaction to, and analysis of, the plane’s vanishing. ... Enter MH370: The Plane that Disappeared’s rampant conjecture! ... Malkinson’s docuseries makes plain, we may never figure out what happened to MH370, and such ignorance will continue to serve as the catalyst for fictional fantasies that keep false hope alive and create opportunities for profit. Even if, in the end, they offer little genuine solace.

    Stream it if you’re into all the conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of MH370. Otherwise, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared will just be frustrating to anyone seeking concrete answers.

I'd also say that the body language of a few people says that they weren't being totally honest. Lying or just not being fully frank, I don't know. Will the truth ever be told? I don't think so, not unless the aircraft is found. Has there been deception? I think so. That deception could be even just making it look like someone is hiding something for the benefit of the tv show The show ignores some key events. Were those events looked at by the investigators or does the tv show just not bother to look at them? An experienced incident investigator would pick up on them straight away. I think the answer might be found by looking at what didn't happen. What does that mean? The show presents events that did happen. But if you are seeking to find a cover-up you look at what should have happened but didn't. Or look at what was there but no longer is. And follow those leads.… Full Review »
