Unbelievable

I'm giving this show five stars because, instead of an action-packed chaos full of logic holes, the creators crafted a surprisingly solid story that wasn't solely about the central jerk, but zeroed in on what really mattered. What's more, they did it in a way that had me glued to the screen. / Lesson learned: Netflix can still catch me off guard (and I'm usually one of its biggest critics). (29/02/2024)

The first episode caught my attention, though it didn't completely blow me away, so I stuck to my usual three-star rating. Marie's retelling of the events might come off as a bit vague to the investigators, but in this case, any man can see why women might hesitate to report rape (except for die-hard chauvinists). If the creators maintain this level of storytelling (or even improve upon it), I'll likely bump up my rating. / Lesson learned: I'm not a woman, but I can imagine that discussing something as personal and traumatic as rape in front of a group of men would be very uncomfortable.

We've got two similar cases here, and all I can say about the difference in the investigators' approaches is "Oh, damn.." If the victim of the crime can handle the situation in a similar way as portrayed here, hats off. The investigators struck gold. Anyway, I have to admit that the topic really gets under my skin. Well, not the topic itself, but the offender. (28/02/2024)

This series seems to be getting better with each new episode. Sure, it's all about women (as is the trend nowadays), but it kind of makes sense considering the topic. And hey, at least the guys here are able to heat up dinner, so they're not completely useless! But jokes aside, when a series can evoke such unpleasant feelings in me, the creators are clearly doing something right. (28/02/2024)

The previous episode seemed a tad better, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it because I was glued to the screen the whole time. This series has really won me over, and I hope that the creators can maintain at least the same quality in the second half. / Lesson learned: Druids are good jumpers. (28/02/2024)

It's interesting; there's hardly any action, and there's not a lot of tension, either. The writing is excellent, though. This is where Netflix shines - when creators focus on the story rather than pushing some stupid propaganda. Also, the bastard isn't front and center; the focus is mainly on the victims. Let's hope it stays that way until the end. / Lesson learned: There are some statistics that don't really make you happy. (29/02/2024)

It's refreshing when a show lets you forget about those invincible super detectives and reminds you that cops make stupid mistakes because, hey, they're human too. They, too, can be less witty, lazy, or just plain idiots. For me, this was another great episode. It felt slightly weaker than the previous one, though. / Lesson learned: I suddenly had this weird craving for grilled ribs :-D 5*- (29/02/2024)

The episode had me hooked all the way through and the ending topped it all off. It was a really powerful episode, and even though I tend to poke fun at practically everything because, let's face it, I'm a cynical asshole, this time I just didn't feel like it. I'll say it again: this is what Netflix shows should look like. They should forget about the pandering propaganda and make an honest effort, because they obviously know how to do that (when they want to). / Lesson learned: In some cases, I'm not surprised by police brutality.
