New on Netflix Garbo Where Did You Go

Has anyone watched this yet? I’m hoping someone could explain to me why the blonde woman narrating is whispering? Greta Garbo has such a fascinating life story and it’s so distracting the way she’s narrating.

Ugh, I had to stop watching this doc because it was so poorly done. It seems that Garbo is a very interesting figure, but all I got from what I watched was a low-energy depressed vibe and irritation regarding that annoying blonde chick and the weird, frequently featured old age mask. Plus, the doc seemed very surface-y. For example, when discussing Garbo's beloved sister's death at the age of 23, they don't even say how it happened (I looked it up, and it was apparently lymphatic cancer).

And I'm assuming the blonde woman is supposed to represent a young Garbo, but she looks more like a flight attendant from the 1960s.
