    Very disturbing

    Netflix has come with a new series where people confess a crime they didn't do... At least that is how Netflix pictures them. I really wan't to believe that these sentenced didn't do the crime, but I have to keep in my mind that Netflix also can show what it want's me to believe.

    The second episode was the most disturbing so far. It left me in tears and after watching it, I really wanted to sign a petition or at least do something.. But something also tells me that Netflix doesn't show me the whole context. If Netflix can make me believe in one episode that these people are innocent, how come that the judges don't believe it? I assume and really hope that the American judge system is not as corrupted and naive as Netflix pictures it.

    If I have to believe that these people are innocent, the more disturbing thing is that the real perpetrators still aren't behind bars.

    So to keep a long review short... - you don't know what to believe - These episode's will leave you angry and confused - Very disturbing stories

    Last but not least... I have to give Netflix a big thumps up for creating a platform that doesn't show how great the world is and how heroic people are.. not every story has a happy ending.

    Shameful

    Really, you think the police should more investigate to protect people and catch guilty people but here unfortunately they try hard to push on suspected people and let them confessions so the sentences based on only suspected confessions not on evidence or DNA and that shameful on justice. However, if the policemen have stopped more investigating for the arrest of the criminals. They are inflicting innocent people in prison while the killers are free!!

    Very thought provoking

    This show made my brain hurt, but in a good way. It's unlike any other true crime show I've watched

    Addictive

    Eye opening, I am already hooked. I hope Netflix will do another season. This director is awesome! I binged watched the whole season and was ready for more. This must be a small fraction of what is going on. I had no idea what went on during interrogation. It made me rethink what I would do in each situation. This is an intriguing show. Thanks for bringing this awesome series to us, Netflix.

    Disturbing yet amazing !

    This show goes to show you what the justice system will do to get a confession out of you at all cost. The justice system does not care about getting the real killer their only goal is to get a confession and put someone away for life with no parole. I will get a lawyer in I find myself in a situation like this even if I am innocent and I have 100 alibis.
