Netflix’s coverage of the Zona Divas murders is tragic in the most barebones way

TLDR

Living conditions are hard enough without the exploitation.

What it's about

This four-part docuseries covers how women lured into working for Zona Divas, supposedly an escort website, are sexually exploited and murdered in the criminal underbelly of Mexico.

The take

It starts off rather plain and descriptive, almost like a Wikipedia article in documentary form with how unremarkable it is. While it maintains that bare minimalism throughout, the aggravating sadness begins to seep in as stories get a little more personal, ages get a little younger, and the list of transgressions starts getting longer. You can’t help but feel for these women and their families who are very much trapped or used by this exploitative “agency” and threatened by other dangerous circles. If you can stomach keeping it going, it’s tragic and disgusting in the most barebones and straightforward way.

What stands out

“I can die in peace now. I can die in peace because my daughter will have a place to live. My daughter will inherit something."
