Everyone who dislikes the Italian sub titles doesn't get it!! Of course Amanda's interactions need to show the disconnect with her not understanding the language. She responded the best way she could; with not always understanding what was being asked of her. THAT IS WHY ALL THE SUBTITLES!!! We are suppose to feel the frustration/disconnect; just like she did being in a foreign country.

I found the first two episodes very engrossing. Amanda was true to her story. She kept everything in so far that unfortunately made her seem guilty. Hearing the Italians speak only (mostly) in Italian was core. It was great to know what they were saying via subtitles. Had they been speaking only English, the suspension of disbelief would not have been there for me. I look forward to seeing the next episodes.

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.

This is a captivating and well-crafted mini-series. The acting is absolutely top-notch and makes you feel for the characters. Of course, it's based on a real story which makes it even more interesting.

A story about love, desperation, injustice & hope.

Do yourself a favor and watch it. Ignore the negative reviews.

The only reason I can think of for the negative reviews is that the audience doesn't like to read the subtitles and watch something that's not 100% in English.

Not the best of shows, but not any worse than some made for TV movie. It is following right along with what Amanda Knox has been saying all along. People are trying to make it like she was being untruthful when things are or are not shown in the series. She does not have full control over the show. They dramatize these things. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of it, even though I know how it ends.

The series dedicated to Amanda Knox manages to clearly show how, from the beginning, the press contributed to creating a deliberately unsympathetic image of her. This narrative facilitated public opinion siding with those conducting the investigations, making it more difficult to believe in her innocence and that of Raffaele Sollecito. Even though romanticized, the representation of the Police and Judiciary appears credible: prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and the head of Perugia's Mobile Squad, Monica Napoleoni, were later reported and convicted for other crimes, from ideological forgery to abuse of office, episodes that show how certain investigative methods were anything but impeccable.

Many critics point out the little attention dedicated to Meredith Kercher. It's true: the series doesn't delve into her story, but not to diminish her memory. The focus is Amanda's journey, her personal experience, the media and judicial persecution she suffered, and the slow path toward rehabilitation. The chosen perspective is clear: to give voice to someone who was turned into a scapegoat and treated as guilty well before the final sentences.

I find it right that Amanda today monetizes her ordeal. It's not an unusual privilege, but a way to reclaim part of what was taken from her. We're not just talking about financial compensation, but the possibility of publicly rehabilitating her own image. That there are still those who continue not to believe her, despite the only guilty party having been convicted, demonstrates a common paradox: justice, even when it arrives, never satisfies everyone.

If this series exists today, it's because the press, with the support of the Police and Judiciary, immediately transformed a drama into a spectacle. Chasing a "media-effective" culprit, they ended up disrespecting not only Amanda, but also Meredith. Now Amanda tells her version: why should this be upsetting, if it was precisely the initial spectacularization that made this story necessary?

I enjoyed the show, lots of scenes that made me feel really angry and frustrated. Not sure how much is truth and how much is added to make it dramatic. I do think that the police (if this show is accurate) honestly should have stayed home, sloppy work, no evidence, and lots of confirmation bias. Mr detective/prosecutor that thinks he is Sherlock Holmes should definitely loose his job and should probably not be in law enforcement.

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.

I'll watch anything with Jackson White and Grace Van Patten - I loved Tell Me Lies, so I turned this on immediately. I had seen interviews with Grace where she mentioned starting work on Amanda Knox and really wanting to do it justice. Her and Jackson seem like two passionate young actors (and I love that they're together in real life).

I followed the Amanda Knox trial back in the day, but didn't remember a lot of the details. I kept checking ChatGPT while watching to compare what was real and what was dramatized. I will say I was disappointed that some moments in the show didn't actually happen - I wish they had stuck closer to the real story.

That said, the acting and cinematography are excellent. Great supporting cast too - I was excited to see Sharon Horgan from Bad Sisters. Overall, a solid show, and I'll definitely keep watching the rest of the season!

Why is majority of the dialogue in Italian?????? It does not need to be! Or has made it very very hard to watch. I'm pausing more to read the subtitles and rewind than watch the episode. Very frustrating! The story line is great and it's a good watch, but I cannot get over the Italian and the subtitles.

It's great that she is able to tell her side of the story. Between the two sides somewhere the truth sits in the middle and there are always differences in opinion. The main character actress is very good, as are some of the supporting actors and actresses. Certain details presented in this dramatization definitely have a different spin than what followers of the case may have heard at different times. I think it's worth watching. My opinion, however, is that this could have wrapped up within two episodes and some of the flair added may have been a bit too much. I fear that we may newver know the full story.

So refreshing to be able to hear her tell her story. I don't understand the negative reviews saying it is a "biased" account when half of Italy thinks she's still guilty despite any actual evidence (there's the true bias for you)!

It's a great portrayal of how romantic Italian storytelling can sell anyone on anything. Let her tell her story of the gross misconduct and sexism underlying how she was treated. Poor girl deserves all those formative years of her life back; at least give her this.

As Episode 1 of "The Twisted Tail of Amanda Fox" (2025 release; 8 episodes ranging 49 to 55 min.) opens, we are informed that in 2009 Amanda Knox was convicted of the murder of her roommate Meredith. We then go to "June 16, 2022" and Amanda is seen hiding in a car under a blanket, apparently on her way back to Perugia, where this twisted tale got started... At this time we are 5 minutes into Episode 1.

Couple of comments: first of all, there seems to be a number of reviewers who give this mini-series a (very) high rating because, as we all know, Amanda's conviction was eventually overturned, and not whether this is or isn't a great true crime mini-series (have they even seen the mini-series?). Second of all, this is not an "objective" mini-series, far from it. In fact, per the series closing credits, the series is based on the 2015 best-selling memoir by Amanda called "Waiting To Be Heard". And for good measure, Amanda is credited as one of the series Executive Producers (listed right above Monika Lewinsky, no, for real). So what you are getting here is Amanda's version of what happened, nothing more, nothing less. It is on that basis that I struggled getting through the initial 2 episodes, as the from get-go, the Italian authorities are portrayed as fumbling-bumbling-stumbling Inspector Clouseau (of the Pink Panther movies) copy cats, with a never-ending series of questionable interrogation tactics and correlated investigative procedures. Is that how it really happened? We have no clue but I can't help to have some doubts that what really happened isn't so grossly one-sided as is being presented here. The good thing is that the Amanda Knox case will continue to attract major interest from the public at large, and that almost certainly one day a more objective and independent version of the facts will be presented.

The initial 2 episodes of "The Twisted Case of Amanda Knock" started airing earlier this week, and are now also streaming on Hulu, where I watched this last night. The remaining 6 episodes will be released on a weekly basis (on Wednesdays). If you are interested in hearing from the one-sided horse's mouth what really happened in this case, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion (even if the conclusion has already been drawn for you).

Very well done tv show representing Amanda's and Raffaele's side of the story. It is almost 100% true to the events and proceedings, that's why you cannot appreciate it if you know about procedural documents and judgments of this intricate case. The choice not to dub respectively english and italian dialogues makes you fully perceive Amanda's situation and the misunderstanding between her and the italian world. The actors look very similar to their real counterparts and embody them even in the smallest details, such as the way they speak. It really makes you empathize with the drama of the conviction of two innocent young people.

The first 2 episodes got me hooked! Love that this is from Amanda Knox perspective. She gets to tell her side of the story and the context for why she may have acted a certain way that the media ripped her to shreds for. Grace is a phenomenal actress! Without her I'm not sure it would be so good. The casting is spot on. Can't wait to watch the rest of the season.

Five minutes in and the sinking feeling kicks in. Twenty minutes or so later and it's time to jettison. Nothing about this works. Nothing clicks. Poor acting, direction, script, accents... not naming names re the latter as am a huge fan but they are failing here.

You would have thought that at the very least, the first episode would have been a slam dunk given the events and yet, it's dull, dumb and with weird direction and dialogue choices.

Watching The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox shook me more deeply than I expected. I've followed Amanda's journey over the years: her work to rebuild her life, her podcast, her advocacy... and seeing her involved in this show adds an authenticity and gravity that's impossible to ignore.

The series doesn't just retell her story - it pulls you into it. Every episode feels like being caught in a slow-motion nightmare. One you can't wake up from, no matter how much you want to. Even knowing the outcome, I found myself holding my breath again and again. The cinematography and pacing amplify that sense of dread and confusion, mirroring the chaos and fear she lived through.

As someone who studied abroad at the same age, I connected instantly to that vulnerability of being far from home. But what she endured was beyond comprehension. The show makes you feel that helplessness, that surreal terror, until empathy turns into something physical... like grief mixed with awe.

This isn't an easy watch, but it's an unforgettable one. It's not just a story of tragedy, it's a testament to survival and reclamation.

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.

The story is very interesting although a little streched but overall a gripping story. Amanda character shows strong acting performance the whole confused vibe and adulthood drama in college shows appropriately. Police role is also very interesting as to how in translation things get blurred and meaning changes.

I know quite a bit about the case (speaking floor plan of the murder house level of detail), I still take away so many interesting new aspects from the show. Not even speaking about the super authentic atmosphere. In my opinion it's the best piece of media that has been produced about the case. Yes, it shows Amanda Knox' view of the events, but boy, does that woman deserve that after what she has been through. Also, Grace van Patten does a great job!

If you're a non-English native, you're used to subtitles anyway. Doesn't bother me one bit, makes it actually more realistic.

I knew this was biased since Amanda Knox is one of the producers, so obviously the point of this series isn't to have an opinion on the case itself. But this is absolutely grotesque.

I've watched episodes 1 and 2, and what you need to know is that every European is a cliché to the point where I wonder if those actors were told to act in the most caricatural way possible.

This is a bad soap opera with terrible performances, but we're not laughing at the absurdity here since this series wouldn't exist had Meredith Kercher not been murdered.
