NO ONE SAW A THING - ****1/2 out of *****
17 March 2024
Do you believe in karma? I never have, but this amazing 6-part limited series sure gives me cause to re-evaluate my stance. Stuff like this is what makes me love documentaries, and there is no doubt in my mind that truth is stranger than fiction. Any screenwriter would have been laughed out of Hollywood proposing what happens here as a fictional motion picture. This is one of those rare "potato chip experiences" - you can't stop after just one. I stayed up WAY too late, but I couldn't wait to see what the next episode had to offer. And I'm actually going to leave it at that, because the less you know about what happens the better. Let me just say that I will truly never forget the city of Skidmore MO and its array of colorful and unconventional inhabitants. I was shocked, I was heartbroken, and I was bemused - often simultaneously. I was so close to giving this a perfect rating, but I felt it could have been edited just a bit tighter, especially the final segment. But this is one of the best programs I've seen in a while, and I'm quite tempted to start it over again right away.
