This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
... View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
... View MoreFascinating yet frustrating at times. I highly recommend this program to anyone who usually finds true crime shows poorly written and somewhat prurient. Morgan lets the women mostly speak for themselves and provides the basic facts of the crime. No psychological analysis of the women or their crimes. Every woman has been the subject of a book by true crime author M. William Phelps. I don't know how or why Mr Morgan should require some sort special backround to present this program. A lot of people seem to have strong negative feelings about him but you should set those aside and listen to these women speak about their crimes. What frustrating is what is not said. WHY did these women do what they did? I found myself having sympathy for only one woman featured. All of them belong exactly where they are.
... View MoreI wanted to hate this because of my opinion of Piers but I really enjoyed the 5 episodes I saw. It's a different style to the true crime shows I usually watch and most of the cases were new to me. I imagine that if I got to watch the whole 2 seasons I might get irritated with Piers.
... View MoreI was only able to see 2 episodes but they were really well done. Netflix hasn't offered the rest yet. A lot of people don't like Piers Morgan but he did a great job in my opinion. He gave all the information and asked great questions to the offenders. I love this type of documentary and this is one of the better ones I have seen.
... View MoreThe show is absolutely terrible. The interviewer is self-serving, quite callous, and frankly not qualified for the job. The show would be better served if someone with any real qualification in criminology at all, whatsoever, were contributing to and/or interviewing the inmates. Not least by any means, there is no danger to the interviewer in entering the prison to talk to the women, please do stop pretending there is..
