Documentary fans have been urged to watch a 2023 piece following the murder/missing case of a man in a town in Australia.
Netflix fans in Facebook group 'Netflix Bangers' have been raving about the true crime documentary, surrounding a case that rose in 2017.
Released in 2023 on HBO, the documentary is split into two parts and follows the disappearance of a resident in Larrimah, Northern Territory, Australia, with a population of just 11.

Paddy Moriarty, 70, and his dog, Kellie were at the Larrimah Hotel as the former enjoyed a few drinks on 16 December, 2017.
At about 6pm, he set off on his quad, with Kellie on the back, driving 400m home.
After he wasn't spotted at the pub for a few days, locals alerted police, who searched his house and oddly found everything as it should be, with Paddy's belongings on the table and no signs of struggle, though his dog Kellie had also disappeared.
Nobody has hear or seen from them since, and the remaining 10 residents all became suspects in the case.

It's called Last Stop Larrimah, and you can view the trailer here:
Released on 8 October, 2023 on HBO, it is now available to watch on Netflix.
With a score of 86 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it's no surprise that viewers have shared their positive reviews of the series online.

In the Netflix Bangers Facebook group, one user asked what was the 'best documentary' will have them saying 'wtf'.
One person said: "Last stop larrimah… bloody brilliant Aussie true mystery!"
Another posted: "I was bawling in the end - loved the series, it was funny, creepy and very sad."
A third commented: "This was great. The way the story is told, will keep you guessing. A gem for the true crime audiences out there."
While a different user wrote: "I enjoyed it amazing how much old footage, they had. Perfect for making a documentary."

And someone else said it left them 'deeply disturbed'.
Following Paddy's disappearance, police investigated for days in the area, looking for any clues that could tell them about Paddy, who was born in Ireland but moved to Australia in the 1960s.
Helicopters searched for him, while volunteers and police looked around on foot and on motorbikes.
The Northern Territory Director of Public Prosecutions issued a statement in June which said there was 'insufficient evidence to make out a charge against any person in relation to the disappearance of Paddy Moriarty', while the NT Police Force said an investigation into Paddy's disappearance was ongoing, as per Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
