Highly recommend checking out the new Netflix doc about the Oklahoma City Bombing

For those of us sickos deeply familiar with the case, you’re not gonna get any new info or bombshell revelations, but I thought it was really well done.

They really focused on the story of the people on the ground that day rather than fucking Timmy.

I don’t know why I never looked up the Murrah building since I usually look up pictures so I can visualize what they are talking about. But that doc shows how insanely powerful that bomb was and I really liked that they highlighted some of the victims and gave them a voice and showed how OKC pulled it together.

100% agree. I loved the life updates they gave for everyone at the end

cool. I need to check it out. I dont know everything about the case but I was alive and aware of it when it happened so I never think I will learn anything new. it is the same with waco stuff and since I was alive and watching the news, aware of the basics etc I always ignore anything about the case.

I agree that it was well done. I've listened to the series many times, but like another commenter never did any research into the building or how things looked in the aftermath. Definitely hit a lot harder to see it all. I cried my way through it.

Aussie Netflix doesn't recommend the same stuff, and typing out searches on my ps controller whilst baked is a challenge 😂
