emmy, and i cannot stress this enough, award.

*goes into the closet where they store all the emmys and proceeds to sneak them all out in order to then gently display them at the feet of the women of this show while saying "thank you" *

“No judgment. I get it.”

I was turned on to the mini-series after Paul Schrader raved about it in a public Facebook post and thanked the friends that recommended it to him. So it continues to spread by word of mouth. I was also engrossed in it and split it up half and half over the course of two days.

Eight one-hour episodes fly by, as we follow Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever) who makes a claim that she was raped by a man mysteriously in the middle of the night.

Merritt Wever and Danielle Macdonald give best of career performances, and Toni Collette is not too shabby either.

In addition, female directors were given an opportunity: Lisa Cholodenko (episodes 1-3) and Susannah Grant (episodes 7-8)

“...These women deserve to feel safe.”

Vegan alert:
Marie makes sausages for customers.

I knew this was going to be a heartbreaking miniseries the moment I finished the first episode. It's just outstanding from beginning to end. Unbelievable shows that there is strenght in vulnerability and that empathy goes a long way.

“You know, no one ever accuses a robbery victim of lying or someone who was carjacked. Doesn’t happen. But when it comes to sexual assault...”


*Powerful* stuff. Kaitlyn Dever (who gives not only her best performance since Short Term 12, but the best performance of her career), Merritt Wever and Toni Collette are all exceptional and should be nominated for Emmys. If you haven’t already, it is essential that you watch Unbelievable on Netflix ASAP.

merrit wever is OUT THERE (solving crimes) and IN HERE (my heart)

i want my own personal detective toni collette doll that tell me phrases “bitch you are on your GAME!” and “maybe i’ll get a tattoo of an ass on my ass. that’s kinda meta.” by pulling on her high pony tail, kind of like how woody says “reach for the sky” whenever someone pulls on his string in toy story 2

oh also, this show is fucking great. it’s binge-worthy while having a really important story that needed to be said.

i hope this series wins all of the awards it deserves next year, starting with kaitlyn dever—she's a fantastic actress but besides short term 12, this is my favourite performance of hers by far. she put everything into her portrayal of this real life person and i could feel her emotion through and through. toni collette and merritt weaver also have some of the best on-screen cop chemistry i've seen in years as well, i loved the pairing of those two very much!

a heartbreaking true story mixed with an incredible cast, script, and cinematography, unbelievable is one of the best series that 2019 has brought us so far!

 2019 RANKED

if you have netflix and you haven’t yet watched this, please, i urge you to. this is some fantastic television. stories like these probably happen all too often yet we hardly ever hear about them. so i want to thank marie and the other victims for being brave, and the cast and crew because everyone does such a brilliant job here.

Can we please stop making Kaitlyn Dever cry? Please? Like, I can't weep anymore, guys. PLEASE STOP!!!

i know i’m late to the party with this one, but all i can say is wow. should be essential viewing for everyone. marie’s story was so heartbreaking and it scares me to think of others who have been in her position because a lazy cop didn’t want to do their job. the way that the two central storylines were interwoven was really effective and it was overall just so well done. i hope kaitlyn dever, merritt wever, and toni collette get all the awards for this one because they deserve it!!!!!!!!

Not a movie but: So absolutely fucking incredible. A heartbreaking story of the way the criminal justice system screws over rape victims and then two badass detectives bringing justice to her name!!!!! I love this series. I think every person should watch it. 
Also, the cast? Hello? They nailed every aspect of this thing.

Kaitlyn Dever... You are Unbelievable.

It's procedural elements are fantastic and truly nail-biting, but Unbelievable's strongest suit is when it showcases the respectful and sometimes tender dynamic between the two lead detectives.

A ATUAÇÃO DESSE ELENCO AQUI!!!! PUTA MERDA!!!!

i watched it again and i felt the same way again it hurts

kinda late to the party but glad that i found this gem. this is beyond words. all is excellent. love the duo. oh, just one more thing...

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!

Vários casos de violação e uma inspetora que luta incansavelmente pelo direito destas mulheres. A palavra que consigo encontrar para descrever esta mini série é mesmo Unbelievable, principalmente pelos excelentes plot twists que contém.

best series I've watched in a long time. this series is undoubtedly a hard watch and being it based on true events made it even more heartbreaking. do yourself a favor and watch it. this series is such an important story to be told.

Both a devastating story and commentary on law enforcement's handling of sexual assault cases.

Such a great miniseries. Pulls you in the emotion felt by the victims. My only gripe with it is I am always expecting for the stories of the three leads to converge in the middle of the series, but just didn't.

fuck judith all my homies hate judith

I understand it's not the point but not making Toni and Merritt dykes was a real fucking mistake netflix
