Trash reality TV in Jail?
11 April 2024
Calling Unlocked a 'social experiment' is an embarrassment, it's nothing more than a soap opera in jail. This jailhouse reality TV debacle feels more like a recycled, watered-down version of past attempts. Programs like 60 days locked in even do a better job.

Instead of shedding light on the harsh realities of incarceration, it seems the producers are more interested in turning inmates into reality show caricatures. The superficial glimpses into their backgrounds do little to humanise or contextualise their actions, leaving us feeling disconnected from the true impact of their crimes.

While there may be occasional comedic moments, any semblance of authenticity or seriousness is lost amidst the contrived drama. It's clear that Unlocked prioritises entertainment over anything that could be impactful or learnt from an 'experiment' like this..

That being said if you enjoy mindless entertainment like the Kardashians this is just a jail trip away!!
