A 2023 documentary is causing a stir with Netflix viewers, who are calling it “absolutely fantastic".

Last Stop Larrimah follows the disappearance of 70-year-old Paddy Moriarty, a resident in Larrimah, in Australia’s Northern Territory. When Paddy and his dog go missing in 2017, the rest of the residents become suspects. 

According to police, there was “no sign of any disturbance.”

A Netflix viewer wrote: “Last Stop Larrimah is one of the most exquisite documentaries I’ve ever watched…the characters are on another level, the who dunnit is next to none, but it may be the absolutely superb cinematography that makes it so memorable. If you haven’t watched it (on Netflix) DO.”
