This should not qualify as a radical approach to crime storytelling.
But it indeed feels radical.
Beginning in the second episode,Unbelievablebegins to unfold on two tracks.
Whats different about the two situations is the way the victims are treated.
Duvall, on the other hand, is kind and soft-spoken.
Theyre right there, she says gently, and theyre here for you.
From the get-go, Amber feels supported, while Marie feels expendable.
Some of that feeling is due to the performances, which are grounded and lived-in across the board.
Dever does beautiful work as the damaged, achingly vulnerable Marie.
But much, much credit also goes to those behind the scenes.
It shows its victims and women the same respect that Duvall does.
