Plot: An American college student named Amanda goes to Italy for a study abroad program, but is wrongfully imprisoned for murder; following her relentless fight for freedom and examines why she was judged so harshly by the authorities and the public.
This series was great.
Pros: I was impressed by the storytelling from this series start to finish. How it charcoals a mental health case study and the struggle of being prisoner in a foreign country. Grace Van Patten was very good playing Amanda Knox. It did took its time flashing out Amanda’s tale from her point of view. It does a good job making the Giuliano out like the main agonist and how it made you worry and feeling symphony for her throughout.
Cons: The only problem about the show was that we got to spend time knowing Meredith a lot before she got murdered.
