Customer Reviews
Imperative
The lack of truthful coverage like this is the reason why there is scant accountability and continuing law-breaking conducts from the U.S. government in our name with our tax money.
Thanks for not letting the bygones be bygones. One can only grow by facing its dark past.
Excellent, disturbing, thought provoking
Just finished Season 3. Thank you for creating this. Wish something similar could be done for every district so citizens were better informed when voting for judges, prosecutors, sheriffs, etc. The whole system is so sad and disturbing. So, so many things to question and reform - loved your list of suggestions for their suggestion box in the last episode.
Spiraling downward
Season 1 was the best primarily because the audience did not know how it would end. Subsequent seasons are increasingly political where the outcome and conclusions of the investigations are easily predictable from the biases of the production team. Without any suspense, it becomes boring and uninteresting.
