Toxic Town

I actually started this show randomly because I noticed the actress from onther show, a show I really loved so I thought let's give it a try! I finished all 4 episodes in one day and I just can say this show was so good. But it also makes me sad at the same time because it is not just a show. It's based on true "events". The talent in this series is incredible. The story is presented in a way that you feel deeply for the characters both good and bad. This is a must watch and a reminder of the ignorance of toxic waste and it's effects. I just can say this show is worth it, and if you need a little show to watch with a few episodes: this show is perfect for you. 10/10.

An important story which resonates around the world where big companies have destroyed countless lives with their poisons. Toxic Town tells the true account of how a small community saw birth defects as a result of a company making a profit by cutting corners on health and safety measures. The acting was superb from the entire cast but a special mention to Aimee Lou Wood who gave a very touching performance about the loss of her baby. I wasn't familiar with this case, so the story kept me on a hook, not knowing how it would end. Four episodes are just the right number - it never became sentimental or repititive which happens a lot on Netflix who seem to love dragging stories out. More dramas about real life and less about spies and violence please.

Loved this. Love women.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this case. I just saw the photo of Sarah, Tracey and Maggie alongside the actors who played them-beautiful. It's evident that the whole project was approached with a lot of care from everyone involved, all while keeping it engaging and entertaining. A wonderful piece of work with a clear message and beautiful portrayal of community. The final episode was very powerful, and there were even a few funny moments that seemed organic and not out of place-quite rare for these types of shows in my opinion.

Amazing performances from the cast, especially Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood (I loved Tracey), Robert Carlyle.... But honestly, everyone was so good.

I had a slight issue with the huge time jumps between each episode but I understand it's based on a true story so not much could be done about that. It's more so a compliment than a criticism-I wanted to know more about the characters! But I do appreciate that it wasn't dragged out-four episodes is perfect.

Also loved the title design (with the letters turning to dust)!

I loved this show and wish it was a bit longer. It's sad to know this is a reality in our world and why are health as a whole is on a rise in multiple areas. From deformities, to autism, to many other health issues. I'm not a big fan of most of it regardless if you use safety or not. To many horror stories and waters still poisoned in states for decades. It's even worse that companies cut corners putting profit before health and safety. Its embarrassing and needs more money put into the research of the harm it all causes. I'm glad the mothers were able to win and it makes me happy to hear. Id like to look into all the true facts of this story.

Watched on Netflix 4-4-2025.

Wow, this is a great story! Its realistic, fast pace and its solid performances make it an ideal proposal for those who enjoy stories based on real events about justice, corruption and citizen resistance.

The most powerful thing about the story is its human dimension, it not only portrays the legal case, but also the emotional and economic consequences that the fight has on the protagonists and their families.

Some things in the evolution of these families can be frustrating, although due to the dynamics of the story it never becomes annoying.

A lot happens in just 4 episodes, and I watched the entire series in two sittings.

Top notch! Don't miss it!
