When you think of the “biggest art heist in the world,” your mind likely fills with romantic images of slinky cat burglars, Ocean’s Eleven schemers in three-piece suits or Tom Cruise dropping down from a glass ceiling. In all likelihood, you did not immediately think of seedy car repair shops and a bunch of mafia guys named Bobby.
But that’s the portrait painted by “This Is a Robbery,” Netflix’s wildly engaging four-part docuseries hitting the platform Wednesday. With a new true crime doc dropping seemingly every day, the genre’s a dime a dozen right now. But both novices and experts will find much to enjoy in this gripping retelling of the Isabella Stewart Gardner robbery in which 13 works of art were lifted on March 18, 1990 by a pair of mystery men dressed as cops.

This story of Bridget Dugdale is about the mastermind behind one of the most valuable art heists in history, the private collection of Sir Alfred Beit.

Fortunately, these masterpieces were recovered and subsequently, Dogdale was convicted.
