Unbelievable

This series is based on a series of rapes that occurred in Washington and Colorado between 2008 and 2011. The original reporting of the story won a Pulitzer prize. The real "Marie" has seen the Netflix series and felt that they got it right.

It's great to see the essence of this story translated into a captivating miniseries. It was hard to stop watching until I got the end.

Even though the style of storytelling is basically the same that you'll in Lifetime TV movie, it's still very well done. In part this is due to the sense that these events really happen, with little fictional padding, and in part to some great acting by the main cast.

There are a lot of "lessons" that we all can collectively take from this story. It's well worth a watch if the topic interests you.

As a father this is your worse nightmare you can imagine for your child. The callousness of all those "who love and support" the victim was tough to watch. I hope that we have come further along instead of constant victim shaming. Tough watch, but worth it....

Fascinating and compelling from the first few minutes of episode 1 through the next 8 hours of interest that didn't release me til dawn. Talk about binge-watching without regret that what began at around 8 pm had me watching the sun come up. Now that's the best review I could offer. It was everything I love -a mystery, brilliant detective work and deep characterization that had me knowing and caring about these people. The conversations were quiet and understated without any sort of rehearsed wit that sacrifices authenticity for canned cleverness. No, this was miles above anything I've seen.

The two lead detective roles played by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever are performances I won't easily forget, and are the highlight of the show. Unbelievable has a realistic, real world kind of style to the script which can be dry at times but also adds an extra layer of realism to the show.

You will squirm, you will be uncomfortable, you will feel the suspense and you will cry.. That's how powerful and amazing the 8 episodes of this show were..

The first 2 episodes were even difficult to watch because of the physical and emotional brutality shown.

Must watch. 9.5/10
