Unknown: Cave of Bones (2023)
Enjoyed it, but with one major doubt
I enjoyed the documentary and particularly appreciated the cartoon scenes that help the viewer understand the cave system and what this species might have been like. There is one aspect that I just find implausible about the theory of how the bones got to their resting spot. These ape/human creatures somehow ventured deep into a cave system with very tight and steep passageways with no light. It would have been pitch black for hundreds of yards AF advanced cave exploration while carrying their dead. They show an example of how you could bring fire into the cave to light the way. Sure that works for an open area, but the 36 ft chute that is super tight and straight down isn't something you could traverse while carrying lit torches. Plus you'd have to go hours in and hours out which would have required lots of wood. They would have been regularly stuck in the cave with no way to see a thing and died in there. Show me one crew going all the way to the end and back using fire as light and I'm on board otherwise this just isn't believable.
Don't Pick Up the Phone (2022)
Why did the prosecutor not use voice witnesses?
First, it was an entertaining series and it gave a good look into how gullible many people are. But my point in this review is to talk about the ending. How does a prosecutor not bring in the most sure piece of evidence which are the witnesses. The victims talked to this perpetrator for two hours each. They would know his voice. You could have had twenty witnesses one after another identifying David Stewart by his voice. It's done in line ups all the time. Yet the evidence they used was his purchase of the calling cards and his work schedule only. It makes little sense.
Clearly this guy was behind the crimes. These weren't hoax calls. These were terrible crimes. For him to get away without punishment is shameful of our justice system.
