If you& #39;re planning on watching the Epstein doc series on Netflix here& #39;s an important fyi: author James Patterson, who is an executive producer & wrote the 2016 book & #39;Filthy Rich& #39;, is writing another book with Bill Clinton - who was known to be a good friend of Epstein& #39;s.
Not only that but in 2019, Patterson said he believed that no one knew about Epstein& #39;s interest in minors, including Trump and Clinton. What becomes apparent in this doc series, which goes beyond Patterson& #39;s 2016 book, is that everyone around Epstein knew.
The documentary does bring up Clinton, Weinstein, Prince Andrew, Dershowitz (who is interviewed, ugh - who decided having an alleged rapist of a minor was a good idea?), Trump etc - it doesn& #39;t dismiss allegations, but the doc doesn& #39;t go deep into (all of) them.
Part of that is a research issue, part of it is a legal issue. The doc does go into Prince Andrew more than anyone else for what it& #39;s worth.
I also think the doc series is worth watching because it really centers the victims& #39; stories and what they experienced. It is an indictment of power and wealth in this country but doesn& #39;t go far enough - because it can& #39;t, just now, bc of information available and unavailable.
The indictment of wealth and power - beyond an individual - in the Epstein doc series is the subtext. It should have been, in my opinion, screamed from the top of the series. that& #39;s also a matter of production/script-writing.
But having an executive producer of this series be someone who is in a creative/financial relationship with Epstein& #39;s most high profile friend... ehh. They used his work as the basis, so the exec prod credit becomes necessary, but ethically...
Lastly, it does end with survivors saying that others - everyone who knew, who abused - need to be held accountable.
