The Cruise Ship Captain Who Refused to Admit Disaster

Have you watched Netflix's Shipwrecked: A Nightmare at Sea yet? I went into this expecting a simple documentary about a cruise ship disaster... and ended up completely hooked. Told through survivor interviews, cellphone footage, and chilling black box recordings, this documentary recreates the terrifying night the Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Italy in 2012. In this review, I break down what the documentary does well, what it leaves out, and why this story feels like a modern-day maritime disaster. We discuss Captain Francesco Schettino's controversial decisions, the delayed evacuation, the heartbreaking survivor stories, the Costa Concordia disaster, and the accountability that followed. If you've been curious whether this Netflix documentary is worth watching, or you're fascinated by true disaster documentaries, maritime history, survivor stories, and real-life investigations, this review is for you.
