Netflix's Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime is baffling for the way it sides with the killer

The Daily Beast

"There’s considerable talk toward the end of Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime about how things would have been different if its central murderer/victim dynamic had been reversed," says Nick Schager. "Such speculation is largely pointless, but it is difficult to imagine a docuseries showing less respectful interest in its victim—and more sympathy for its killer—than Eliza Capai’s four-part Netflix affair, which by its conclusion transparently reveals that it’s on the side of Elize, this despite the fact that all available evidence points to the woman’s guilt."
