The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox

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.

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 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 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.

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.
