This is a Robbery (2021) - My husband suggested this docu-series for us to watch, he's almost always up for a true crime documentary, so we watched all four episodes fairly quickly. I had no prior knowledge of this story before we watched this series. In 1990, 13 works of art were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Two men, who identified themselves as police responding to a disturbance call, we granted access to the museum by the over night security guards. Once in side they tied up the guards and looted the place.
The series, of course, tries to work out the who, how and why, but also where. Where did these paintings go? All these years later they still have not re-surfaced despite a $10 million reward. This docu-series is kind of all over the place as it attempts to touch on all the possible theories of what actually happened that night. In the end the empty frames still hang in the museum still hopeful the lost art work will be found. This is a great series if you are a fan of true crime without the murder and a lot of theories of whodunnit.
We watched this on Netflix.
