Mike P @RT77437476 06/09/2023 Sporadically interesting and compelling; but at the same time somewhat passe examination of a series of media induced scandals from the 80s and 90s; and long, long ago... Giving us a merciless dissection of the Scott Amedure trial is somewhat interesting; for example, although we've gone so far past the problems presented in this movie; it's almost all moot at this point! Now we no longer have 4 networks giving us trash tv talk shows which embarrass people. Now there's literally 1000s of media outlets on YouTube and other platforms serving up much more shocking and sexually explicit stories than the Scott Amedure story; which seems pretty bland these days by comparison. I mean compare Scott Amedure with Anthony Weiner for example! I mean that kind of vicious gotcha tv has gotten exponentially worse to the point where this 30 year old story seems quaint now. Same thing with Bernard Goetz and the other stories presented. So I'd say it's recommended as a compelling time capsule; although alot of this doesn't apply to today's even more complex media issues. Verdict: thumbs up 👍 somewhat recommended See more 07/10/2020 First of all, the editing was terrible. Whose brilliant idea was it to show two people speaking simultaneously in a split screen, in unrelated situations, with no obvious tell as which one you're hearing? Why all the fading in and out and overlapping of voiceovers? Second, ironically, this show seems to purport that media has biases that influence issues of justice—this, coming from George Clooney, who is using this show to make sure to browbeat people for believing differently than he does. This makes for an eye-rollingly hypocritical ride on the Not-Self-Aware train.

Says a lot about our mindless society. See more 05/27/2020 This season was very entertaining and I love trials and this show was everything I asked it could be 2 thumbs up See more 05/27/2020 Muy buena serie sobre el poder de los medios en el juicio público y las leyes. Deja ver como un abogado puede convencer a un jurado creando una novela dramática y como se especializan en ese tipo de prácticas corruptas. También deja ver como con dinero se puede lavar la imagen de casi cualquiera a través de la TV. Cada episodio es un caso muy polémico que implicó a los medios televisivos. See more 05/24/2020 I've only seen three episodes . It really seems like this is Rev. Al Sharpton's document- series. See more Read all reviews
