The jonbenet docuseries is using a lot of home video footage from the 80s that I’ve never seen before. It seems like a normal documentary to me - setting up the story it’s trying to tell(I’m only one episode in).

Because they have nothing new or compelling to say and they need to distract from this.

Yep. The first Netflix doc I saw (or maybe it was Hulu?) that made me think it was overproduced was the Brandi Melville one. It made me look at every documentary afterward through a suspicious eye.

The Buy Now one was awful.

I thought Buy Now was really bad for all the reasons you mention.
Watching the Ramsey one now. Seems very conventional so far. It's by Joe Berliner who made the one about the three boys (Paradise Lost?) so I expected something a little more compelling. I like it better than Buy Now though but it's not great.

No, they are doing some sort of vintage 80s detective set up, showcasing interviews in old TVs. It's just contrived.
