Epstein's Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell

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.

It's about time for Jizzlaine Maxwell to come out of the shadows & face her accusers. If she's innocent, she has nothing to worry about. I'm glad this documentary was made.

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

A professionally executed and enjoyable watch.

"Epstein's Shadow" (3 eps, 1 hr, Peacock) is a short doc series on the incredibly infamous Ghislaine (the "s" is silent) Maxwell. This documentary is really only useful for those who haven't been following this sordid tale in the press and online. There are first hand victim/witnesses on the record so she will be nailed. Her trial is currently set to start in Nov 2021 but most think that'll never happen. She'll get a plea deal to spend time in a Martha Stewart styled prison for a few years and nothing but nothing will be further revealed of the Rich and Powerful predators involved because contrary to "laws apply to everyone", the Rich and Powerful are simply immune from prosecution, sad but true.

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.
