I only wish it had ended 30 minutes sooner. It would have been the movie of the decade had someone not lost their mind and absolutely demolished the ending. The point had been made, the meaning heard and understood clearly and beautifully, and bad writing and costume and makeup and special effects just blew the whole thing up. Like the budget got lost in the end. I couldn't believe what they decided to do with what was such a masterpiece. I feel tricked. I wish I had read the other reviews and cut the last 30 off so I could enjoy what a wonderful movie the first hour and a half was. I should have stopped. Which is ironic.

Would have appreciated more background on the characters we are following through 8 full episodes. Multiple characters are shown in all 8 but never named, never explained. We follow them throughout the entire series with no information on their crimes, their time spent incarcerated already, their time left to serve.

Interesting idea but lacking the details. The personal details. The information needed to keep you invested in the people, the point of the series. Much left to be desired at the end as well as far as outcome. Seems a bit scripted in many scenes, definitely dramatized.

Better jail documentaries out there.
