Netflix Limited Series - Unbelievable
Not very many series suck me in and provoke an emotional response quite like this one did. Anger, sadness, apathy, resentment, shock. I could add a few more but I don't want to give anything away. Probably one of the absolute best tv productions I have seen in a long time.

Don't watch the series trailer or read the description. Just watch it.

I would also suggest using spoilers here until people have completed it if you do watch.

Truly powerful drama.

How quick does it draw you in?
I have it on queue, but the new series Criminal and the new Ken Burns doc both just dropped as well.

I recently finished this. I agree that it draws you in and gets into your feels with episode one. I watched it over the course of a week to 10 days, so maybe it was burnout, but I was gripped early on then thought the acting/directing fizzled into a Chicago Fire/Med/PD quality towards the end which eroded some its captivation.

I'm honestly surprised you feel that way. This show captivated me right to the end. I've never seen any of the Chicago shows so I can't compare it.

It's just a slight criticism on my part. I thought some of the detective interactions were a little melodramatic and inauthentic. Some of the storylines were done rather lazily, imo.

Spoiler!


I've never seen any of the Chicago shows either, so that probably wasn't the best example, but I was using them to showcase the difference between an HBO, and even AMC type of series, and a CBS/NBC/ABC type of series which is what this started to feel like for me towards the end. Again, only a slight criticism as the story is most definitely captivating.

Damnit I couldn't figure it where I recognized that actor from.

I honestly thought that angle worked well for the show. It was never preachy about either side. Referring to your spoiler.

One episode is all it takes. I watched over the weekend, "Lifetime" movie expectations. It is very well done.

I thought it worked too. I think it was meant to give some depth to why they each would prioritize some things over others in slightly different ways. I watched it in a week flat, found it really compelling.

I was cool with that angle, especially if it was accurate to the story, but feel it could've been much more dynamic than what they did with it. I should probably reconcile that this was never going to be a multi-season series given it's true story nature, so nuance gets rushed.
