Netflix fans have discovered a gripping mini-series with a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Check out the gripping trailer below:Released in 2019, the eight-episode drama Unbelievable is now gaining newfound attention from viewers.
The series stars Kaitlyn Dever and is inspired by a Pulitzer Prize-winning 2015 article that exposed a series of s*xual a**aults in Washington and Colorado.
Dever plays Marie, a young woman who reports a r*pe - only to be treated as if she’s the criminal.
As she struggles against disbelief and legal consequences, two determined female detectives - played by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever - begin investigating a serial rapist whose crimes eerily match Marie’s description. What unfolds is a haunting and deeply emotional pursuit of justice.
Since its release, Unbelievable scored an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and earned universal praise, with critics calling it “heartbreaking and powerful".
"Unbelievable transcends familiar true-crime beats by shifting its gaze to survivors of abuse, telling their stories with grace and gravity," reads the official critics' consensus.
One reviewer raved that Unbelievable is "without any doubt, one of the most culturally relevant TV shows," while another said that it "still manages to make this harrowing real-life story into a compelling fictionalized account, one that will make for a fulfilling binge-watch".
A third critic shared: "It's a powerful, impactful show that will stay with you for a long time. An unflinching look at justice, inequality, and the fantasy of a perfect victim."
And a fourth added: "It's bleak, but humane; enthralling, but not grossly manipulative. It is an extraordinary experience to watch and know that it's based on a true story. As such, it's unforgettable and easily one of the best crime dramas of the year."
On other social media platforms, viewers are urging others to watch this unforgettable series.
"Whoa!! #Unbelievable on @Netflix is like REALLY GOOD - the hype is REAL," one user on X penned, while another encouraged: "Go watch #Unbelievable on Netflix. Just sit down, buckle up, and prepare yourself, it’s upsetting but so necessary."
A viewer in the Netflix New Releases Facebook group wrote: "With outstanding performances and a thought-provoking narrative, this show exposes the dark flaws in the justice system and the resilience of the human spirit. Don't miss this powerful and unforgettable ride!"
Another called it “one of the best series,” and one more said: “This series is superb. It depicts different attitudes and reactions from different officers and how victims coping mechanisms are all different... perfectly. 10/10."
