Le Quatrième Procès

As a Boston Ian, I remember this case. The corruption was/is real. Just glad that Sean was able to get a fair shot at freedom. I ready many reviews thst the series was long. That it is, however it pulled me in. I watched it in its entirety and was glad I did. Bravo Netflix.

I am surprised that some negative reviews mention that the series was 'too long". But if all the facts in this matter are to be presented in this explosive case how is it possible to pare it down to a couple of episodes? I binged on it and finished it in a couple of days.And enjoyed every minute of it. And it really does open up a can of worms where the police force is concerned. Corrupt police personnel can make life a living hell for the vulnerable anywhere in the world- that's the message I took away from this series.I am thankful to lawyers like Rosemary Schapiro who rooted for Sean Ellis and fought his battle for him.

I am astonished at the criticism in some reviews. This is a true life, mega serious event which took away the life of a 19 year old black male. Is there anything worse than being stitched up by corrupt police as you head off to a very lengthy prison sentence? Being killed is probably the only worse occurrence. Sean Ellis clearly has not one tiny bit of malice or badness in his body. The accepted conspiring of power by Police Associations as power leverage is of itself an abuse of the rule of law. You cant go wrong with real life reports. This is a brilliant series. If it is aimed by Netflix to enlarge upon the political scene in USA today in a somewhat subtle manner then this I do not like. The "victims" (not the police) all speak from a natural attitude without animus. The police seem arrogant and sorry they were caught out.

My advice - watch the first 30 minutes of the first episode then jump to episode four because there is so much filler it spoilt the show.

You can also miss episode seven about the DA election.

This case brought me to tears and makes me not just fear the police even more, but to realize that the US legal system is truly terrifying.

They really put in too many side stories that are boring. The case is so interesting, but all the side stories, unimportant information, made it boring sometimes.
