True Crime Netflix Drama ‘42 Days of Darkness’ Gives ‘Clickbait’ Vibes With Twists and Turns and Multiple Suspects

So many true crime dramas are streaming right now from Candy to Under the Banner
of Heaven and The Staircase. But what makes 42 Days of Darkness on Netflix
different? It’s definitely not the cast because almost all the actors are
unknown. But it is the way the director has chosen to tell the true story behind
the actual disappearance of Viviana Haeger. It’s atmospheric and
character-driven that it keeps you hooked to your TV screens. 


WHAT IS THE PLOT OF THE CHILEAN CRIME DRAMA?

On June 29, 2010, Veronica goes missing after sending her daughters to school.
When her daughter comes back home to find her mother missing, her aunt Cecilia
and her father, Mario, call the cops. The baffling case soon becomes a
full-fledged investigation. The investigation doesn’t produce any credible
leads, which force Cecilia to take matters into her own hands to find her
sister.

Netflix dramatizes the real-life case of Viviana Haeger. She went missing on
June 29, 2010. Her body was found 42 days later in the attic of her own home. It
remains the most puzzling case of all time with multiple suspects. 

This show may remind you of yet another Netflix series, Clickbait
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/clickbait], which featured different suspects in
each episode, leaving fans guessing
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-netflix-fans-still-in-mystery-as-thriller-tv-series-clickbait-delivers-another-twist/].
Similarly, 42 Days of Darkness is filled with twists that will have you
wondering: Is it the family that is behind the crime?

[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15090462/] Furthermore, Decider
[https://decider.com/2022/05/11/42-days-of-darkness-netflix-review/] says,
“STREAM IT. Armed with top-notch performances, 42 Days of Darkness delivers a
moody, intriguing pilot, one that wastes no time hooking viewers with chilling
drama.”

,While Ready Steady Cut
[https://readysteadycut.com/2022/05/11/42-days-of-darkness-season-1-review-a-sturdy-grounded-crime-drama/]
thinks it’s an average show, “It probably won’t do big numbers, even among the
usual crowd, since this is a show that lacks the attention-grabbing hook you
really need to stand out in such an overcrowded genre. But those who do check it
out will probably feel well-served by its patient, potent unfurling of
uncomfortable truths and miserable turns, and they’ll be in good company.”
