My rating: 5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
This 44 minute documentary by The Smithsonian is highly repetitious and it tends to treat the viewer in a condescending manner. The narration is slow and overly dramatic, there's a lot of speculation and sensationalized and, I'm repeating myself here, it's repetitious. This should have been a half hour episode with commercials. Cutting it down would have helped but you can't put a Band aid on a bullet exit wound. One thing I found interesting was the detective work that went into discovering its origins. Had this been a British production (those people REALLY know how to make a lean, interesting and informative doc), this would have been leagues better and enjoyable. It was easy to watch as it's on Netflix but don't waste your time.
