Once rape is eliminated, would the world, the universe and the cosmos become a better place, with a lower rate of evil and violence? Who is so foolish to think that? The difference with the first season of "True Detective" is all here. News facts and the social complaints can only be of a lower rank compared to the existential approach, with respect to which they are reduced to mere chatter, feminine and otherwise.… Expand

As a well-produced mystery “Unbelievable” is reasonably good. It tries to be balanced by having a Christian main character, who is the best actor in this by a country mile, but can't help itself with general anti-male ethos, though subtle. It appears realistic but really isn't if you ask any sex crimes detective. What really kills it though is the introduction of Rasmussen who is so badly written and acted it's cringe to watch. She ruins it. Otherwise, it's average.… Expand

All three leading play their roles perfectly, as do the supporting cast. Great story, had us gripped from start to finish.

this was sooo good. to be discredited after an assault is the most horrible thing and very well captured here.

I just want to say that it is not limited to rape victims, the whole of society has the reflex of discrediting the victim in nearly every conflict. acting very well done, particularly Kaitlyn Dever and Toni Collette. Also, editing was very well done. The drama of the year as far as what I have seen.… Expand

It addresses the issue very well and exposes many of the terrible and abusive tactics used by the authorities when dealing with cases of rape and sexual assault but also has problems because extends things a lot in part because there are manyIt addresses the issue very well and exposes many of the terrible and abusive tactics used by the authorities when dealing with cases of rape and sexual assault but also has problems because extends things a lot in part because there are many moments where the story wanders too much, losing the straigh path, besides the mix of genres and narratives doesn't always work smoothly. Especially since the consequences of the attack only focus on one character despite the existence of more victims and they only relate their experience when the story needs it. That's why it feels unbalanced.

For the rest it works fine, it's very compelling, it makes you angry and moves you at the same time.

And the performances are quite solid. Kaitlyn Dever is mentioned a lot and although I applaud her work because it's pretty good, in my opinion both Toni Collette and Merritt Wever are the ones who steal the show.

5 or 6 episodes would have been more concise, nonetheless this miniseries it's among the best shows Netflix has in its catalogue right now.… Expand

finally we can associate the lovely figure of the very talented Kaitlyn Dever with something different from Last Man Standing. She's the main role in this limited series which it should be a mandatory viewing to all, men and women. Author didfinally we can associate the lovely figure of the very talented Kaitlyn Dever with something different from Last Man Standing. She's the main role in this limited series which it should be a mandatory viewing to all, men and women. Author did an amazing job and the 8 episodes will fly faster than you can imagine. notable work also for the other two women, the detectives, brilliantly chosen as almost all cast. it's an emotional and tragically actual very well shaped story, but is really easy to view and you will never bored for a single minute.… Expand

First rate acting, writing, directing and production values. Merritt Wever and Toni Collette are amazing as always, but Kaitlyn Dever just broke my heart to pieces. It takes an important subject and handles it with care and class without being preachy. The show is definitely hard to watch at times and moves early on at slow, methodical pace, but then builds momentum towards an emotional finale that is one of the most satisfying endings of any show I've seen in recent memory. Get out the tissues.… Expand

I know this is based off of a true story, and I in no way want to minimize the trauma suffered by the victims and the work put in by law enforcement.

I just want to convey my opinion on the re-telling and necessity of the Netflix version. Something about this series just didn't really connect with me. The show felt a little pretentious about the themes it was trying to portray. It also felt unrealistic and unnatural, particularly in reference to the police officers' portrayal. I also feel that there were no stakes, as the journey was kind of predictable. I didn't hate this series, I just kind of question how necessary it was to re-tell this story or at least why they told it in the way they did.… Expand

The storyline is not predictable. It was so catchy to point made me watch the whole series in just one night and once more the day after it. I recommend it to whoever searching for movie witch are the closest to real life because it was the real life. HOpe you agree with me.… Expand
