We Need to Talk About Cosby (TV Mini Series) Part 2 (2022) User Reviews

Compelling victim accounts, tarnished by non-expert talking heads

[zvhvbmjsy · 8/10 · 5 February 2022]

The victim accounts are so numerous and so consistent that it's impossible not to believe them. Why Bell then decided to employ non-expert talking heads (Hamilton Morris, Sonalee Rashatwar to name but two), who have zero credentials regarding the issues they talk about, opining about things about which they have demonstrated no competence or expertise (Morris purports to know about drugs but has no scientific credentials or experience whatsoever and is merely a journalist and a wanna-be TV personality, while Rashatwar's apparent goal is to be the edgiest "sex therapist" on Instagram while displaying no scientific evidence for anything she discusses) is nothing short of baffling, and undermines the credibility of the show. Complete shame and a wasted opportunity for this show to be taken as seriously as it should be.

Gets a bit repetitive

I'm not sure this needed to be 4 full episodes. This probably would have worked well as a 2 hour documentary. I think it's important to give the survivors their own unique voices, but between the many (similar) stories and the opinion commentary of others (some closely involved with Cosby, some not), it does start to fill like the content is trying to be stretched.

Some of the things that Cosby said in past do feel like foreshadowing as is suggested (pretty creepy actually), but some of the commentary in this episode feels like it's overreaching to suggest that he was confessing or implying crimes or that people should have recognized things based on his comedy, because the nature of comedy is often shocking, silly, and non-linear.
