    Jeffrey Epstein (and any scumbag, rich or not, who preys on women of any age, but especially underagd ones) is a scumbag. The only regret for his death is that there wasn't a chance to expose more scumbags.

    Having said that, I'm having a hard time with some of these stories. I'm hearing less rape or molestation, and more underage prostitution. I find it more creepy that the one painter    Jeffrey Epstein (and any scumbag, rich or not, who preys on women of any age, but especially underagd ones) is a scumbag. The only regret for his death is that there wasn't a chance to expose more scumbags.

    Having said that, I'm having a hard time with some of these stories. I'm hearing less rape or molestation, and more underage prostitution. I find it more creepy that the one painter took nude photos of her underage sisters to paint than what happened to her. And the other girl who seems more shook up over her three years of prostitution than seeing her step brother beaten to death.

    Again, no mercy for Epstein, but there are a lot of other failures going on here. Mainly with parents and relatives of these victims. How are 14 year olds ending up at a rich middle-aged guy's houses in the first pace? Why is the painter not being indicted for child porn? This whole docuseries seems to be more about exploiting the pain of the victims and less about who Epstein was and how he managed to do this for so long. FAIL!    … Expand

    This documentary delivered despite being incomplete. Myself and many only knew that Eipstein was a rich criminal who "hung himself". This series shed light that Eipstein and his wife Ghislaine were psychopathic ring leaders of underage girls. Eipstein's so powerful that he's still burying this case in his grave. He probably murdered dozens that went against him, and no one will ever know.This documentary delivered despite being incomplete.

Eipstein's so powerful that he's still burying this case in his grave. He probably murdered dozens that went against him, and no one will ever know. At least with the series awareness, more people will try to bring justice for the silenced victims. It's time to ask the important questions like where is Ghislaine Maxwell? And why did Alex Acosta free Eipstein?… Expand

    I feel bad for all of the real victims. It was clear some of the women were in it for the money, TV attention and civil lawsuits. My bet is criminal people of power had a plan to get him free by faking his suicide. Don't hate, it's just my opinion. Watch it again, open up your mind. It all doesn't add up.

    Filthy Rich effectively shows the vast systemic failure that allowed these girls to be victimized for so long. ... The series is at its best when amplifying the voices of Epstein’s survivors. One by one, they tell their stories revealing the painful details and providing important insight into the experience of surviving sexual assault and trauma.

    There’s indisputable value in giving voice to people who were rendered voiceless for most of their adult lives, and in letting them explain how the systems that were supposed to protect them repeatedly failed. But Filthy Rich also suffers from a lack of clarity, hovering over its primary subject rather than targeting its punches. The series is eminently watchable, and enraging. But it comes no closer to unraveling Epstein than any previous reportorial attempts have managed.
