Aug 25, 2023Worth watching! Whatever you thought you knew about the trial, watch the documentaries before making your own conclusion.
-
Aug 17, 2023A fascinating case study in how social media culture can distract us and divide us. This documentary has found a compelling, organized narrative buried in a convoluted mess of public vitriol and court proceedings, and it tells it concisely in three impactful episodes. 9/10.

Aug 18, 2023It's funny seeing people calling out a non-existent agenda since the documentary series is free of commentary or interviews. Just a documentation of what happened. Maybe these people are embarrassed of seeing themselves in all the opportunistic clowns that commented on the trial.
Awards & Rankings

Emphasizing the social-media frenzy that surrounded the case, alas, proves more irritating than illuminating, with the one truly worthwhile element being how the producers present the two principals’ conflicting accounts side by side.
-
We’re recommending Depp V. Heard for the edited-together trial footage, especially the back-and-forth testimony from Depp and Heard themselves. The rest of it is just irritating, but not irritating enough to keep us from watching.

This is one of the major drawbacks to the series: the failure to hold any of these commenters accountable, to even explain who they are beyond a simple graphic, to interview them after the fact and ask them how they feel about their performances, which were designed to gain as many “Likes” and Subscribers as possible.
