      John Powers NPR Unbelievable unfolds slowly and methodically and without melodrama. Its eight episodes take the time to show the cost of sexual assault on its victims, and its deliberateness heightens the ironic sting of the series' title. Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times The storytelling is straightforward, shaped to the emotional curve of Marie's story, as she tries to get on with a life that seems to be contracting around her - Dever, impassively terrific, puts up a shield and acts behind it Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe If you like procedural crime dramas, it's top-notch. Dec 4, 2019 Full Review Zofia Wijaszka Screen Queens Unbelievable is, without any doubt, one of the most culturally relevant tv shows. Rated: A Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Erin Maxwell L.A. Weekly Unbelievable's unique take on cop dramas and amazing performances makes it worth it. Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said A brilliantly structured cat and mouse story that's also about the growing trust and bond between the detectives in the war against the male status quo.

      Gianvito A Perfect it felt so realistic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Brynne C Pretty close to a perfect show. Merritt Weaver is wonderful. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review DANA R. A "Unbelievable" shines a much-needed spotlight on the societal challenges surrounding sexual assault, urging viewers to confront uncomfortable truths and fostering important conversations about empathy, support and systemic change. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Saide María S Everyone should see this series based on a true case. This should be included in the syllabus of all police academies and psychology faculties. The script is excellent and the actresses are magnificent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Maria Catarina E It gave me the closure I needed to feel, decades after Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Paulami A As a woman, I recommend this for all women! As a victim, I empathise with Marie Adler and how she was mishandled by the police. Besides the personal link of experiencing something similar or far worse, the actors, script, direction, humour, details makes it intense.
