The Keepers Megathread (Netflix series about the murder of Sister Catherine "Cathy" Cesnik)

It is interesting but it isn't done as well of some of the other series they have like it. Its heavily biased in favor of the victims and their supporters, and doesn't take the effort to track down or corroborate many of their claims. Instead it relies on the volume of these claims as a sort of proof. Better investigative series don't just give a soapbox for people to make unqualified claims one after the other, they track them down an evaluate them. The only real voice for the opposition is the woman from the government who headed the sex crimes unit who said the same thing, you can't just go around charging people without evidence and they just didn't have any. I found it annoying that on two separate occasions they ignored the fact that the main witness who claimed to have been taken to the body said their were maggots on it. One officer claimed when they actually found the body there were no maggots nor evidence of maggots, and another she admired has said it was totally the wrong time of year. Yet they never chase any of these inconsistencies down, and again just take her word for it. Also it bugs me the way she talks about her memories, supposedly she was in a dissociative state for 30 years, then suddenly she remembers (which can happen), but she talks about it completely unemotionally until she is don't, then cues the crying. I think she certainly could be telling the truth, but its annoying that they don't talk about how she went from being so afraid of those memories she shut down, to being able to comfortably to talk about them on national television. Overall its just very poorly done because its so one sided, all these programs usually have a stated position, but this one at no point questions virtually anything the victims have to say or claim, which is obviously makes their argument much weaker, especially when you're building upon a case that has zero evidence to begin with, why expose yourself to that sort of criticism. They equate at times the testimony of anonymous persons who refuse to come forward with well respected government officials, totally ludicrous. To me its obvious, because they didn't think it could stand up on its own, but you can watch and judge for yourselves. If anything its a lesson in what not to do as an investigative journalist. Its conspiracy theory garbage plain and simple.
