Against my better judgement I downloaded this and watched it this morning.
Right from the outset, with the VO "Before the conspiracy theories, there were just facts." it's a distorted, one sided crock of bull.
I've come to expect nothing more from the Discovery channel with regards to this case. There were so many lies, I forgot most of them, but my favourite was the retired DPD cop near the end who said "I thought we had the best police department in the world". Without the slightest reference to the numerous reversals from that era involving corruption in the PD and at the DA's office. Or without reference to any of the FUs in the evidence in this case.
Any program which uses Helen Markham as a witness AT ALL loses credibility, but this one makes her out to be the only witness! It's as though no breakthroughs occurred in the evidence after 11/24/63, or as though the AARB ever existed.
Oh, and their "consultant"? Dave Perry.
Apologies to those who have already seen this or discussed it.
