I don't hardly ever watch TV except to catch the weather or maybe a sports event. I saw a few minutes of this while talking to my wife and ended up in the chair for over 3 hrs.
It shows how a person becomes a scum bag real gradually by getting away with dishonesty, little by little. "The biggest example I’ve ever seen of somebody using their money and influence to thwart reporting on the subject and to work out an outrageous deal,” Joe Berlinger, an executive producer said.
They found first person witnesses to events with pictures of the girls with those who said they never new them. It goes into the background of the sweetheart plea deal negotiated by federal prosecutors to keep Epstein out of prison. They interview the girl who was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, and had a picture of him standing there with his arm around her waist. But he declared he never met her or new who she was.
Here's a quote from a review. "The show stokes justifiable outrage through each survivor’s account, retracing how the Palm Beach police department’s investigation was bumped up to the FBI, and was then derailed by a “non-prosecution agreement” the Herald called “the deal of a lifetime.” Signed in 2008, the deal – brokered by state attorney and later Trump labor secretary Alex Acosta and Epstein’s all-star team of lawyers, including OJ Simpson defender Alan Dershowitz (the only Epstein acolyte to attempt a defense in the series) – was controversially sealed and kept private from the accusers. It offered Epstein and named and unnamed co-conspirators immunity from federal criminal charges; instead, he pleaded guilty to two prostitution charges in state court, and served 11 of 13 months in Palm Beach jail, out six days a week on “work release”."
It is a sickening picture of how people in power, with unlimited funds control the entire environment around them. Alex Acosta tries to come off as a problem solver who is glad the final trial is allowed, and he's the one who kept the previous trial sealed and tried to prevent further legal action. He resigned as Trump's Labor Secretary after a few days to save his hide!
Worth watching!
