Five years ago, the best true crime TV show of the 2010s quietly premiered on Netflix. Here's why you should watch it now.
True crime is one of the most popular forms of storytelling there is right now. It’s also one of the most difficult to get right. After all, when a TV show or a movie is recreating and using real crimes to tell a story, how does it do so without exploiting the real-life victims involved or disregarding them in favor of focusing more on their attackers? A delicate balance between sensitivity and compelling drama must be found. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t.
Related Unbelievable is all too believable Co-created by Ayelet Waldman, Michael Chabon, and Erin Brockovich screenwriter Susannah Grant, Unbelievable is an eight-episode miniseries based on a 2015 article and 2018 book by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong. Both nonfiction pieces explore a real-life police investigation into a serial rapist who targeted multiple women in Washington state and Colorado from 2008 to 2011.
Unbelievable follows up its bleak, but necessary first episode by plunging straight into its Colorado-based police investigation. Wever’s Karen arrives on the scene of a reported rape and, in a few scenes that stand in stark contrast to those in Unbelievable‘s premiere, we are shown how even the smallest signs of compassion can help victims move through an unavoidably difficult process.
