Epstein's Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell

How did this documentary pass the checks and balances? They're interviewing a bloke who went on a date with her in Oxford decades ago, a former classmate (also decades ago) who clearly didn't like her then or now, and a tabloid journalist who briefly worked for her dad (you guessed it, decades ago). An apparent "former friend" referenced newspapers more than personal experience. I have watched a lot of documentaries, even scrappy amateur YouTube content put together by teenagers and undergraduates. None of it is as basic and lacking in substance than what I just watched. I wouldn't be surprised if Maxwell sued the producers.

This is an interesting story to tell for sure, however they did not have to drag it out to three episodes. They put so much filler in and basically repeats themselves over and over again because the woman is just not interesting but the men around her is, they are the ones with stories to be told. They could easily have made this a 1.5 hour long interesting documentary instead of 3 hours long dragged snoozefest.

Wake up and see this and share with family & friends for them to beware.

Lots of new stuff and interviews with people I had never seen before.

A professionally executed and enjoyable watch.

The doc definitely treated this despicable person with kid gloves, excusing her behavior because of such a "horrible upbringing" at the hands of her Israeli intelligence, media mogul, billionaire, fraudster father. Most of the things in this documentary I already knew but still worth a viewing for tidbits like footage of the Israeli funeral for her dad, he seemed to be very beloved over there. Of course NBC is the same organization that killed the weinstein story so let's keep that in mind.
