A strong Netflix series based on pursuit and capture of a serial rapist that took place 2008-11

The Netflix 8-part series, Unbelievable, about the pursuit and capture of a serial rapist, is based closely on true events that took place in Colorado and Washington in 2008-11, fully revealed in reporting that put ProPublica  on the map and led to a Pulitzer and a Polk award and to a book (by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong). The TV series, developed by Susannah Grant (plus Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon) is a terrific account of the hunt for the rapist with special attention to the two lead detectives, played brilliantly by Merritt Wever and Toni Collette - too bad there's no likelihood of a 2nd season, as these to make a great team of opposite types (one cool and quiet and devout, the other tough and belligerant and profane). The strongest performance though is from the lesser known Kaitlyn Dever, as the first victim, Marie (whose real name has never to my knowledge been published). The series is in essence a police procedural, with many false leads that will keep viewers guessing and thinking, and it's also a profound indictment of the behavior of far too many police officers, skeptical about any report of sexual assault. A technical detail: Unlike most series this one includes no opening credits, and "thanks" to the ridiculous Netflix practice of cutting off credits at the end of view (and quickly jumping to the next episode, whether you want that or not) you have to look up the credits on your own if that matters to you. Quibble aside, it's a very strong series throughout and highlights an issue that is still troublesome and significant.
