The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso Review
Netflix’s true crime list is ever-growing, and adding one more to that list is the shocking Nora Dalmasso case that remains unsolved 18 years after. Showcasing Nora’s life and everything that happened following her death through archival footage and the media frenzy that followed, the documentary sheds light on the life of a woman who was taken too early. It also highlights the heartbreak of her two children, who were left shocked and confused at this sudden turn of events.
The series gets right down to work from the first minute, bringing forth facts and painting a vivid picture of what happened to Dalmasso on the fateful night and the fallout from it. The documentary is broken into three parts, focusing on a different section of the tragedy at a time. Nora’s two children become the most important voices in the series and leave a lasting impression throughout.
It’s absolutely horrendous what these two children had to go through at such a young age, firstly by losing their mother in such a heartbreaking fashion and secondly by the despicable media circus that followed. The series highlights the absurdity and the heartlessness of the situation extremely well and leaves your heart broken not only for the deceased but also for the people left behind. One can say that their suffering might never end, considering the real killer has yet to be apprehended and justice served.
Of course, then comes the question of the police’s shoddy detective work and failure to preserve the crime scene. If you’ve watched enough true crime, you know this is such a common theme in all these documentaries. It’s so common, in fact, that it’s repeated in fiction as well. It’s almost a crude joke at this point, and it will make your blood boil.

I think the documentary does a fine job of sticking to the point and keeping the children front and centre. It makes the situation even worse when you see the archival footage of people picking their mother apart with the most crass comments, all the while the two children wait with bated breath to know whether their mother will ever get justice. It’s just so unfair and terrible. And the heartbreak just keeps getting worse in every episode. I keep repeating this point, but the kids had to face the worst out of this mess, and that’s just reiterated every few minutes.
Final Thoughts
I think The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso is an impactful and heartbreaking watch, mostly because it’s still so relevant today. The idea of a woman’s murder going completely under the radar and people questioning her character rather than focusing on finding the person who cut her life short, cuts deep, but that’s what women face every day. The docuseries just reiterates that point all over again.

This series was a ridiculous waste of time!! ????♀️
Don’t even bother watching! ????????????
I continued watching each episode only because I thought the Argentine authorities would eventually solve Nora’s murder.
Unfortunately, the Argentine police detectives are worse than bumbling circus monkeys! Completely untrained! IQ’s lower than room temperature! ????
It took them 18 years to realize, maybe it would be a good idea to test the DNA on the bath robe belt Nora was strangled with?????♀️ 18 YEARS!!
During all those years they literally tortured the Macarron family and their close friends.
Also, it was repulsive what the Argentine journalists did to the Maccarron family during this long 18 year period.???? None of which were actually real ‘journalists’ but more like a squad of high school mean girls reporting speculation as ‘facts’. They constantly harassed the Macarron family with their cameras and their reported ‘unfounded’ accusations.
Finally, when the DNA from the robe belt was tested, and that DNA was matched to one single individual….THEY DON’T EVER TELL YOU WHO IT WAS!?? ????♀️????
Also, they show NO VIDEO FOOTAGE of reporters surrounding and bullying the discovered DNA match, like they did so many times to the grieving family!??
The ONLY thing I was able to ascertain after watching this mini series was, NEVER go to Argentina!!
You won’t be safe!! Their authorities won’t protect you! Their justice system is an egregious Kangaroo court!!
Their journalists will condemn you!!
