According to the metrics-focused website Flix Patrol, this recent and intriguing production has managed to surpass other popular titles on the platform (such as Formula 1: Drive to Survive) within just one day of its release.

The case of Danny Casolaro‘s death is a mysterious event that has sparked speculation and conspiracy theories, and the series attempts to retrospectively examine all the facts, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions.

Casolaro was an American investigative journalist working on a project he called “The Octopus”, focusing on investigating alleged conspiracies at the government and corporate levels.

He was found lifeless in his hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia, on August 10, 1991. Although local police officially classified his death as a suicide, not many believed in the verdict.

Some argue that Danny was on the brink of uncovering a corruption scheme involving prominent figures in government and industry, and his death might have been linked to his investigation.
