Review of Unbelievable

Unbelievable (2019)
8/10
It's a real story with little fictional padding
21 September 2019
This series is based on a series of rapes that occurred in Washington and Colorado between 2008 and 2011. The original reporting of the story won a Pulitzer prize. The real "Marie" has seen the Netflix series and felt that they got it right.

It's great to see the essence of this story translated into a captivating miniseries. It was hard to stop watching until I got the end.

Even though the style of storytelling is basically the same that you'll in Lifetime TV movie, it's still very well done. In part this is due to the sense that these events really happen, with little fictional padding, and in part to some great acting by the main cast.

There are a lot of "lessons" that we all can collectively take from this story. It's well worth a watch if the topic interests you.
