Dian Fossey: Secrets in the Mist

The series is great and absolutely worth a watch. If you're already familiar with the story (as I was), there will still likely be plenty of details to keep your attention. There's a lot of original film and photos, which makes it much more immersive than your typical documentary. I'm also glad they didn't try to sugar-coat the imagery, but allowed the user to get a glimpse of the gravity and savagery of what was happening at the time.

The only problem was the series's constant focus on Fossey's murder. Obviously it's relevant, but for someone like this the focus should be on what she accomplished. They start out the series with the murder, and it runs like a murder mystery story through the whole series. They even dedicate the first 2/3 of the last episode to it. It's kind of sad to see such an incredible story reduced to a crime drama, and I truly would've preferred they had cut virtually all of it.
