I've just seen the second episode and what is told in 2 episodes could have been done in 15 minutes. The amount of repetitions is just annoying. The horrified faces of the officers are annoying. But within this dragging tempo... nothing is spcified. "We researched a lot" - "we found a lot" - "we worked internationally" but there are never specifics. What did you do, why, what did you find and where and why was it incriminating.

My idea is now that the case is smaller then portrayed because there is a lot of quesingspace for the viewer.

And within all this the constant disguisting reactions of the investigators. I know it is horroble, I know you were touched... but now that we know... tell me about the case. What impact did it have on the world. What chamged cause of it. What new laws were introduced with what was learned from the investigation? No... nothing. Just frowned faces saying they never imagined how bad people can be. Very naieve... especially for an officer.

Operation lost boys opens with a impeding arrest of a pedophile network somewhere in middle America, then switches to where and how the investigation all started in Norway.

This series was well made unfortunately it shouldve been ONE off documentary. There was so much filler and repeat interviews in this series that it spoiled the end result.

In some instances it seemed more of a PR marketing drive for law enforcement than the actual topic it started out with in the first episode. The prepetrator busts were covered in the bare minimum.

This would've been better served as a one and half hour documentary. 5 episodes of repetative garbage we didnt need to know or have drilled into our psyches just got boring by episode 5.

If you are tempted by this series Watch episode1 skip to 5 you wont have missed much inbetween besides long interviews of the relationships between the norweign cops ffs hilariously painful.
