Is there anyway to get my time back? Is there a score lower than one? Has there ever been characters more unlikable?

Just finished netflix brand new true crime mini series on the Yorkshire ripper. It has brilliant archival news footage, crime scene photos and interviews I haven't seen before but beyond that I think it's a super ballsy documentary that really hammers home (no pun intended) how incompetent the police were and what a mess they made of the entire investigation. More importantly though the focus on systemic sexism and misogyny! On how some of these victims were villified and portrayed is not only sickening but heartbreaking, they were chastised, disbelieved and in some cases plain ignored so it wouldn't bend the narrative of the completely incompetent patriarchal policing that was going on. Let's not forget it was pure luck that caught him in the end, not the big wig,smiling, useless figure head police that were splashed all over the TV. Well done to film makers Jesse Vile and Ellena wood, stellar job of capturing the true story of the victims.

To date I don't think there's been a series that has infuriated me so much. Following cases taken on by the innocence project to clear the names of falsely accused and wrongfully imprisoned. I was actually open mouthed listening to the details of what had been done to these victims by people who abused their power, or hid behind the label of "expert" to get convictions and let people languishing in jail for decades, knowing full well they were innocent. They not only destroyed the lives of the people they imprisoned but the byproduct of their lies and deceit was letting the true perpetrator of these horrendous acts be free to commit more crimes. It perfectly addresses racism, cultural lines and social issues, all in all it's a very well made documentary that is tragic and heartbreaking but manages to project a message of hope. Side note. I wanted to throat punch that fat dentist so bad!!!!! How does he sleep at night!!!
