Unbelievable
Its the name of the new true crime Netflix investigative series. Story of a teenager named Marie' (portrayed as Marie Adler) who has been sexually assaulted, raped and in an astonishing turn of events later on pressurized to recant her statement, had to admit in an open court and receive punishment for "false allegations " before some years later vindicated as the real perpetrator got apprehended. This years best known limited edition series's has all been dark themed. From Chernobyl or Now they see us and now to this. But I have to admit, this might be the most difficult amongst all of them to watch.
The subject matter might had something to do with it, it's not an easy watch. But it had to be more than that, specially the writing and Kaitlyn Devers phenomenal portrayal of Marie Adler. I'll go on about it later. First I have to say something about the ensemble. So powerful casting all around ! Being guilty of in love with the crime investigation genre to a obsession, I've been waiting for this series since I have watched the trailer. Two lead female detectives might have drove the show, but the central character, the driving force of the series has always been Devers (Justified,Booksmart). The range of emotions or lack of she showed portraying the character was too much to handle. Never too melodramatic never too shallow, just the expression of her throughout has set an underlying tone to the whole show. U wouldn't even remember when you have started to root for her so that at least she could find a modicum of justice in a world that has been so injust to her through her whole life. So many senior actors present and an upcoming young actor stole the whole show ! It was just incredible!
Most of the investigative tv shows from Law&order franchise to CSI or Criminal minds, police procedure has always been the Centre or driving force of the show but here it's different. The human element behind the scene, the empathy or lack of empathy in the work has been shown in a so bright contrast that you have to admit, it's not just another run of the mill investigative show. It's different, it's better, and a definite binge material. Don't miss it.
