- QuizThe actual story is very complex, took place over more than 30 years, had lots of fits and starts, with many characters, like the judges, doing only one thing at some point and then moving on with their careers, so the series is only inspired by the actual case. As a result, the story has been massively streamlined, by only focusing on six steps: the first attacks, the judge trying to move the case forward, the mayor going public with the attacks, the scientist working on the attacks' data, the real police investigation and the catching of the rapist. Consequently, many "subplots" were completely removed: Dino Scala's first marriage, his first attacks on his first wive's sisters, the investigation by the archivists who first linked together dozens of sexual attacks in the area in the 90s, the many many attacks and victims who are not shown at all but simply mentioned near the end, and of course, the trial. Also, several characters are not real, but they're amalgamations of several existing people, most notably the first victim in the series. As a result, all character names were changed. For example, the real life rapist Dino Scala is renamed Enzo Salina here, mayor Annick Mattighello is called Arlette Caruso in the show, etc.
Recensione in evidenza
This is based on the true story of a serial rapist who committed his offences over about 30 years. I admit that I was not familiar with the case as it was not widely reported in the UK. It is a methodical docudrama which starts in 1988 and finishes at the trial in 2022 thirty four years later. Each of the six episodes tells the story from the point of view of a leading character at various years of the investigation. Maybe it was a sign of the times but in the early stages the police showed little compassion for the victims and made only a token effort to investigate. It was awkward to watch, as traumatised victims were reporting their sexual assaults to sceptical police elsewhere in the police station officers were partying like it was New Years Eve. Shocking. Over the years various investigators seemed to be closing in on the rapist, but he still remained free to continue his evil deeds.
This was a compelling watch but had many scenes which could make uncomfortable viewing.
Highly recommended.
