Neon: Season 1: Episodes 10

Rating: 4/5

In early February 2004, 326 people simply vanished without a trace from a small Tennessee town. But as it became just another tragedy amongst countless other tragedies, virtually everyone not directly affected by the incident simply forgot about it. 

Not Lia Haddock (played by Jessica Biel). Fifteen years on, the American Public Radio journalist is determined to have one more crack at trying to solve how her uncle and the others simply disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Granted access to the ghost town (left standing "only to give an illusion of hope", as she cynically notes), Haddock sees first-hand some of the disturbing things left behind. Pictures with eyes scratched out, a single skeleton of someone seemingly burnt at the stake. They join the panicked 911 call on the day and the strange private security firm that prevented emergency services accessing Limetown for 72 hours before simply dispersing without explanation, as things not easily explained away.

Because each episode is short - about 30 mins each - it's an easy binge-watch.

The theme of Limetown is a bit scifi (currently) but the questions raised about the use of the technology are huge. I'm saying no more.
