Amanda Knox: una historia retorcida

I can't understand why this particular series starts with a scene that feels literally stolen from Amélie, from the perspective of things being interconnected in a narrative. Later, the series felt disappointing to me, the lead actress's performance was not at all convincing, and it was incredibly boring. You could tell it wasn't a realistic depiction of things. However, I found the cinematography and the use of light and color hues visually appealing, the series itself was disappointing.

So this is Amanda Knox's own version of events and as such is interesting for sure. She and her boyfriend don't to me come over as killers. But, I find it's raising more questions than answers. I mean, would you really wake your boyfriend up in the morning in HIS flat, and then leave him so you could go back to your flat and have a shower? Would you really, as a girl alone, find the front door open to your home, but carry on and take said shower without first checking the whole house for intruders? And would you really carry a mop from your house to his if you were not that keen on cleaning and he had a regular cleaner? I can't make sense of it, and this is only the first episode! As others have said, one day, hopefully, someone will do some careful research, and we may get closer to the facts. Still; worth a watch....

The overall tone of this show is extremely off putting and strange to put such a teenage gossip girl edge to the narration of Amanda makes it hard to engage with. The Italian police/ prosecutors act so cartoonishly evil at times and the show seems to constantly explain that Amanda was vilified because she was so millennial cringe quirky and so pretty but not really discussing the nuances in their suspicions of her. It's weird but ultimately good that they don't explore Meredith's murder very much since I doubt her family wanted anything to do with this show. Still feels exploitative and strangely toned with fair enough acting despite a dull script.

The show itself is about a 6 or 7. But regardless, it's an important story to tell.

She did 4 years in prison for a crime she didn't do.

The breakdown of any reputable criminology in this case should be a case study in what not to do.

I loved living in Italy for 10 years. Amazing places and people. However, I have to admit every aspect of her telling her side of the story is very believable. The way the story is told emphasizes a reality of soft sciences and ancient Whats if thinking and calling it soft sciences. Overlooking leads because of leniency towards soft crimes like bulgary and picketpocking, which was the number 1 error of logic in this case. And it was only under appeals that that she found a judiciary that was willing to see the egregious and erroneous investigation and evidence mishandling. It was in par with Salem and witch trials And even after being acquitted they still held her because she said a cop hit her. Which is believable.

I'm glad she gets a chance to finally be heard. I hope she gets peace. And while it's not her number 1 reason to do this series, I hope she gets paid a ton to make up for the injustice.

I have found the first 2 episodes really engrossing. Sure, some of the police characters are annoying, but I suspect they really behaved like they are being portrayed based on other true crime scenarios I have watched based overseas. I hope the rest will capture my attention in the same way. The actress portraying Amanda looks strikingly like her and I certainly find her believable as Amanda.
