I normally don't like shows based on true stories, but I gave it a shot because I was bored one afternoon. I'm so glad I did! It was a binge-worthy watch that I couldn't stop watching. Kaitlyn Dever gave an impeccable performance, and her Australian accent was flawless for someone who isn't an Australian native. The way she acted as a manipulative and conniving character was so convincing. Alycia Carey did an amazing job too, I broke down at the last scene the character had with her father. This was just such a great multi-layered performance by the characters and supporting cast. This was an amazing dramatisation!

The starting was slow and kind of neither here nor there. It was a little confusing and nothing was explained that well, so I struggled to follow what was happening at first. Around the midway point when they finally revealed what was actually happening, things fell into place and I really enjoyed the last 2 to 3 episodes. There were some poignant parts about life and death which really hit me. There isn't really a "main character" in this series, which I quite enjoyed. You follow a bunch of different characters, all with their own stories and motivations, and they felt very real by the end of the series.

I went in without watching any trailers, because I wanted to experience it without any sort of spoilers. It exceeded my expectations completely! There was a nice blend of humour, sentiment, tragedy, love and I felt like every character got their time to shine. There were no cheap plot points and the action was well paced. Didn't feel any boredom unlike other recent marvel movies.

It was a little darker, especially with some mild gore, but it added to the weight and themes of the movie. The voice acting by Bradley Cooper was amazing. It was a bittersweet ending to the trilogy but somehow I feel a little excited for what's to come!
