Rizla Posted September 19 I've watched two episodes of Unbelievable, and have decided to proceed no further. I can't see what all the fuss is about, it hasn't drawn me in at all. Sorry. I'm hard to please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janeymarywendy Posted September 22 Oh, so good! Thanks once again, Netflix. Acting from everyone was superb. Set in New Jersey. It's a 15, so not too violent. Was justice served? Tell me what you think if you ever watch it (it's about 9 or 10 episodes). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to agree, but I do stick with them to the bitter end Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisey Jeep Posted September 23 i find British shows that only run to 6 episodes are 6 episodes too short im always terribly sad when they end for the season Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janeymarywendy Posted September 25 @BrilliantDisguise, I've just finished watching it. Seeing that it's based on a true story (awful, frightening) I feel bad saying that I had very little feeling for the main character (Marie). Yep, just the actress and the way she came across. I have EVERY sympathy for the real person! Everyone else was brilliant. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's a true story, but ... perhaps it's the way they depicted it, but I just didn't find convincing the way she caved in so easily. And she seemed to have plenty of sympathetic carers and counsellors, why wouldn't she tell them that she felt bullied into it? She was very hard to like. And she permanently wore an expression like Dot Cotton licking piss off a nettle. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrilliantDisguise Posted September 25 Spoiler I can understand how Marie caved as easily as she did. She was pretty much alone in the world for a very long time and she did seem to have trust issues because of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rizla Posted September 25 BD, I can understand that's how it was in real life. But what we're saying is that we didn't find it convincingly portrayed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if we'd been made aware more clearly about the girl's younger life and what she'd been through ... (I'm being picky, I know). I love the Dot Cotton comparison - that's what I was sort of getting at. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stand corrected if im wrong im no expert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
