I previously gave this show a negative review. I felt there were a couple cases involving convicted white men I thought absolutely could have been innocent. At the very least, they shouldn't have been convicted with such flimsy evidence.
I felt Chris and Fatima overlooked those cases but showed support and compassion toward the black men(who I think also could be innocent)and their families who were on the show. It bothered me because it seemed blatant.
After I left that review, I recall later reading more information about one of the cases involving one of the white men I thought was innocent. I wasn't so sure anymore. So, that made me think possibly Chris and Fatima know more than the show tells us and maybe they do have a good sense about who is lying or not. After all, it is their job to figure this stuff out.
I had sworn to never watch another season but caved with this latest season 8 and have watched 4-5 episodes. They have changed my thoughts on them because they have now offered help to a couple white men as well.
I simply like to correct things when I've possibly been wrong. So, I wanted to change my review.
Besides everything else I just mentioned, I think the show is great! I thoroughly enjoy it and I do think Chris and Fatima show genuine care for the families on this show. Others have mentioned how this show harms and exploits. I don't see it that way at all! If I were wrongly convicted and in prison, I'd gladly use this show to try to free myself. To bring some awareness to my case. Whatever it takes.
