Outreau: Un cauchemar français (2024)
Appalling approach - not focused on the aftermath
I can only agree with the many other negative reviews.
I was interested in the series, but the portrayal of the case and the attitudes towards the children in the case room made me interested to find out more information about what had happened further on and I was disappointed to see how much of it was not included in the series. The current Netflix portrayal of the events is very much focused on the adults, victim blaming etc.
Terrible to see so many admitted facts - as for example - where one of the couples "acquitted" later were found guilty of sexual child abuse.
It does create a very bad feeling after watching and not because of the sad story, but how it is portrayed and how it almost feels as an ordered story for the layers and how much is skipped over that could have balanced the story from the victims perspective.
