5 years ago, the best true crime show of the 2010s went completely unnoticed on Netflix
- Unbelievable, an acclaimed Netflix mini-series based on a true story of serial rapist, underwent low promotion and flew under the radar upon its release in 2015.
- Based on a 2015 article and 2018 book by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, the miniseries follows two parallel stories - a young Washington woman who rescinds her rape complaint and the investigation into a serial rapist in Colorado.
- Unbelievable is a blend of a detective thriller and a heartbreaking exploration of how America’s justice system treats victims of sexual assault, discouraging them from coming forward with their stories.
- The miniseries highlights the flaws in the justice system and shows how it makes it hard for victims to be believed and treated with the sympathy they deserve.
- Despite dealing with such a sensitive topic, Unbelievable manages to keep the viewers engaged without any preachy drama. It lets the story and the characters do the talking.
- Unbelievable is made with great sensitivity, and it is a true crime drama made with the most empathetic hand, allowing the hurt emotions to drive the story, which eventually reaches operatic, tears-inducing heights in its final episodes.
- The miniseries is featuring three of the best performances of their careers we have seen from Wever, Collette and Dever.
- Unbelievable is still a must-watch on Netflix after five years of its release, and it is a testament to how a true-crime story needs to be told in an engaging and sensitive way.
- The series is streaming on Netflix now and is considered one of the best true crime shows of the 2010s.
- Unbelievable is a true crime thriller with a more empathetic touch, making it more compelling than any other true crime shows we can watch on Netflix or any other streaming service these days.
