    Great performances and a solid true crime series, but also a bit sexist, imo. It seems to presuppose that male cops at the very least don't care about rape/sexual assault or at worst are misogynist to the point they are too preoccupied with assaulting their own partners. I get the desire for strong female characters, and that these rapes, as with most rapes, happen to women, but to inferGreat performances and a solid true crime series, but also a bit sexist, imo.

    Unbelievable isn’t just a gripping story, it’s an incredibly compelling argument for why we need to take a frank look at the way victims of sexual assault are treated and how seriously we take them.

    It could’ve been another drab procedural, heavy on cliches borrowed from a thousand crime stories before it. Thankfully, it manages to find another way, by focusing on the grey area of its title. ... It’s about who gets to have their story heard, who is allowed to be believed. It’s about the power dynamics that underpin the criminal justice system and society at large.

    Gripping eight-episode series. ... It’s about a string of serial rapes (triggers galore), yet the writing and execution are refreshingly empathetic toward victims, procedure and justice.
