I hardly ever write reviews but this is so good, I just had to turn some of this experience into written words.
The acting - just all of it - is absolutely outstanding. The three lead-women should be up for every tv-award there is. Then there's the writing and directing, which is probably the only appropriate take on the extremely sensitive topic this show is dealing with I, have ever witnessed on TV. I watch a lot of Detective-Shows and movies and it's usually about the "thrill of catching the bad guy" or about the viewer's chance to "look evil in the face". And I'm not saying that's all bad - there's a lot of excellent stuff like this out there. But this brilliant show, for a much needed change, is actually about the victims and what such a horrible experience does to you. It's about a certain and unfortunately often overlooked kind of bravery and about commitment.
Don't miss out on this gem!
