A tale so unbelievable that it leaves one's jaw permanently on the floor

While it's easy to think that no one alive could be as naive as the Brobergs, the documentary is a sobering reminder of the power of manipulation, the failures of the justice system.

Disturbing but not irredeemably horrible. More it's a fascinating story of misplaced trust and single minded obsession that's a must-watch for true crime nerds and documentary fiends.

Shocking and provocative, Skye Borgman's film upholds the binge watching generation's fascination with the true crime documentary.

The fact that "Abducted In Plain Sight" left me with a feeling of uncleanliness wasn't just because of its subject matter, believe it or not. It was the way the subject matter was handled.

It unpacks too many bizarre events in a short time frame to allow for much additional analysis. And the Broberg family, confessional to a fault, are primed more for honesty than for self-inspection.

If there is a point to Abducted beyond simply retelling the saga's many horrors and waiting for the viewer's jaw to drop, it might be its own principals' disbelief.

Like all these shows, it was surrounded by hype and snakily promised to be higher quality than the stuff you find on the Crime Channel.
