  The rare show in this genre that cares about the victims more than it cares about the perpetrators. There is a distinctly different perspective behind the material that plays out in every single interaction and conversation. It’s angry about injustices, especially within law enforcement and the justice system, but it’s also deeply compassionate towards the people who are thrown into that system. It’s the little things that really add up here - it takes care to show moments of comfort, of validation, of even just one person telling the other what resources she has to offer. It lingers, but in a respectful way. One of the better shows of the year, strong recommend.

  Also: All three performances are stellar. Dever’s…

  *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" *

  “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.

  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.

  “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.

  Review by nick ★★★★

  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.

  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.

  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!
