It's like my grandmother used to say: "The dead has no voice". Elize is a human that did a huge mistake, and she still has her rights, but it's a bit disgusting to interview a cold blood killer and let her talk trash about the person she killed and mutilated. And of course, the dead husband has no way to defend himself from all the nonsense and accusations coming out of his killer's mouth. The documentary makes you almost forget that she shot him in the head and cut his body in small pieces and threw it in the bush, such a poor lady. I watched until the end but I can definitely say I don't really see the point of watching this documentary. Making a cold murder a victim.

It's unbelievable the victimization of a cold blood killer promoted in this documentary, besides that it's terrible slow.

Well here we go again, I used to respect Netflix allot in the past, now they seem to be a leftists organization who defends criminals and the worse people in society. Now this show really tried to make Elize Matsunaga as a victim, well it's only her side of the story, where is the side of Marcos, well unfortunately he's not alive to speak about it. If he was as bad as she says he is, ok, so she shot him but if it was in self defence she should have called the authorities right away and not dismembered him completely, so no matter what her sob story is well I have absolutely no sympathy for her, and she should rot in jail for the rest of her life, where it seems she is really well fed there. Bravo Netflix you showed again how you will come to the rescue of criminals.

This woman is disturbing. Her and Marcos are both flawed, that's why they were together. He had an esteem issue, and she had many too count. Evil woman, who enjoys harm onto others. The way she laughed when she put that poor little mouse in that plastic tub with that snake shows how sadistic and evil she is. Calculating, cold and manipulating. She should have been an actress. Her tone of voice drove me nuts during this documentary.

Ive watch tonnes of tru-crime documentary and this is one of the worse & most shameless. 4 hours of non-stop self-victimization of a brutal killer & victim-blaming. She ends with saying theres more brutal crimes committed than hers (shot husband in head, cut him up like animal & dump like trash) out there and media only focus on her because her husband was wealthy? Wow really netflix? U guys approved this?

The totalitarian, anti-gun stuff has been everywhere since guns were invented. What's great about this documentary, is that they don't behead you with that crap, until the last episode. This murderess is just like the word would suggest.
