Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich (2020) TV Mini Series Review

Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich (2020) TV Mini Series Review 


This documentary hit Netflix today and here is my review for Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich. The premise of the show looks at the victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse and prostitution ring and there stories to expose him and ensure the truth is revealed. 

Now this show has a really sensitive subject matter, it can be uncomfortable and you hear just how many terrible things this guy did because he thought he could get away with it. It does a respectful job in showing the victims stories and shows how similar but personal all of there abuse was.

The show attempts to get both sides of the story, and when it does it tries to remain neutral even though there are clearly some terrible things that going on. The fact that some of the people linked to Epstein refused to take part tells you just how bad this situation was.

The show also does a good job in showing just how big this issue was and still is. It makes you think that if these people didn't come forward how many more people could still be under his influence and others who are in positions of power. 

It's hard though because the subject matter is so personal and the show does a good job in making you care but I must admit it wasn't the most interestingly depicted documentary I have ever seen. It still caught my eye and kept me watching but I wasn't engaged as much as other docs I have seen. 

Overall, this is a great documentary series that shows how bad this man was and how these woman recovered and eventually got some sort of payback and could move on. I would advise that if you are ready for some serious subjects and acts of evil then this is worth a watch but if you are a bit nervous about these subjects then this may not be the documentary for you.

Rating - 8/10
