"Unbelievable"
This 8-episode mini-series is certainly heavy, but worth the distress it may cause. I’d suggest preparing yourself for what’s to come by reading “An Unbelievable Story of Rape,” the deep-dive feature story published by ProPublica, which inspired the series. It delves into the infuriating missteps taken in the investigation of a true crime case from Washington, with Kaitlyn Dever playing the real-life victim onscreen. Her astounding talent is bolstered by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever, and the show sheds light on how victims can be mistreated and belittled when reporting their experience — plus, it serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and believing survivors.
