About
You’ll likely be into this if you enjoy true-crime documentaries about institutional failures, especially if The Confession Tapes or The Innocent Man worked for you; Not for you if slow, repetitive storytelling quickly loses you.
Pros: gripping real-life scandal; eye-opening system critique; engaging throughout | Cons: feels padded; repetitive at times; uneven structure
