Review of The Hard Truth

This series started off quite well but there is very little to this story. The amount of time given to the "internet sleuths" in the series is incredible. The police, hotel staff and the coroner give reasonable explanations for everything that happened, however the sleuths just counter it all with "there must be more to it" and "it's a conspiracy". Part of being a detective is following evidence, not coming up with wild, baseless theories. I felt so sorry for Morbid. They made his life hell. Someone who had been at the hotel a whole year before she died, but they just clung onto the fact that he did it. I also feel sorry for Elisa Lam's family. These people potentially gave the family false hope or kept dragging up the case on the internet. They didn't ask for this. This series should have been about the history of the hotel, going deeper into some of the stories that are touched upon, with Elisa Lam given 10 minutes of it. None of these "sleuths" should have been given the airtime whatsoever
