This documentary chronicles the horrific nature of Jeffrey Epstein preying not only on adolescent girls, but on everybody he came into contact with. He was the perfect predator who had a keen eye for weakness, knew how to manipulate people and was savvy enough to pull it off time after time. And of course, one can only get away with his pyramid scheme of predation when that kind of ample wealth.
The stories of the victims were generally pretty moving, if not sickening. But, like most of this documentary, it never went deep enough. They did portray many of the victims as being easy targets because of youth or circumstance, but there were some that didnt quite fit that picture, yet they still went along with the scheme. One girl, after repeatedly being raped, even introduced her younger sister to Epstein, and then acted surprised when she learned that he raped her too. There is a deeper psychological issue going on here. Whether it's Epstein's power, wealth, control, or luck. Unfortunately, they never explored this strange phenomenon deep enough.
And this flaw continued in all aspects of this series. They never quite went deep enough to show how a college drop out can land a collegiate teaching job, turn that into a Wall Street position, which lead him to his perfect job: ponzi scheme stock broker. And exactly how did he swindle so much money from Les Wexner? And lastly, how deep does this world wide pedophilia ring go?
The documentary left me with more questions than answers. But, in general, this was a pretty good introduction into the heinous and lecherous lifestyle of Epstein. As time goes by, hopefully more info will come out which will lead to a more detailed documentary on the secretive Epstein and the life he truly lived. One can only hope, because he kept very powerful company, and they have a way of protecting each other. It just feels like there is so much more to this story, as in how the hell can someone get away with this for so long. It really is sickening to see someone just flaunt morality and the law simply because of the size of their bank account. That preferential treatment is almost as sickening as his pedophilia is, because this should have been stopped long ago.
