Good doc, surprising in areas, but too long
14 August 2022
Okay. Midway through episode 3 I wanted to turn it off, but it reeled me back in. When I first started watching this I was highly convinced of one outcome and then my mind was completely opened to a totally different outcome. It definitely takes a sharp turn. So because of that, I liked it. But there were major things I strongly disliked and I thought ultimately impacted the docuseries.

Firstly, it is WAY too long. I would've accepted 2-4 episodes. That's al we needed. Secondly, the play they continued to focus on. I hated the theater part of it. I after a few episodes I ended up fast forwarding through al of the play/theater parts. Thats not really what I signed on to watch. While I understand why the play was important in the end, I don't think we needed to hear about it so much. They should've just mentioned there was a play and what the play was about and then highlighted why the play was important to some of these people's lives.

But all in all, I liked it. I didn't love it, but it was worth watching. The story is a heartbreaking insight to what happens when the system fails and reminds you that a few bad apples really can ruin many peoples' lives. It reminds us we're not safe from injustice due to greed and pride. None of us are safe.
