Netflix’s four-part documentary series, “Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers,” directed by Liza Williams, is a belated account of the 2005 London transport bombings and subsequent events. The coordinated terrorist bombings on July 7 described as the UK’s 9/11, the tragic death toll of 52 lives lost, identification of the terrorist involved and the consequent manhunt for the perpetrators is parlayed through eyewitness accounts and previously unreleased footage.

This true crime, 4-part documentary series gives us a detailed take on what is considered the worst terrorist attack in the UK to date.

On an ordinary day, a series of explosions rocked the London Underground network, followed by a devastating attack on a public bus, as part of a planned terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 52 innocent people. The detailed investigation following the horrific attack, questions raised on the lack of initiative by the MI5 and investigations of similar attacks attempted just a couple of weeks later, form the gist of this documentary.
