The limited serie does have its shortcomings such as the hasty production as well as lagging and wasting the limited allotted episode capacity to only the case of Betsy Faria, while the real Pam Hupp, a possible psychopath and all around evil being, who looked nothing like the weird prosthetic makeup over Zellweger, had at least two to three deaths in her hands: allegedly Betsy Faria, possibly Shirley Neumann (Hupp's own mother I might add), and Louis Gumpenberger, which Hupp was actually convicted and serving a life sentence for, almost 5 years after the death of Faria. All the lives Hupp manipulated, deceived, destroyed, and killed, left out by the show's tunnel vision.
Besides Pam Hupp, the gravely flawed and corrupted justice system, from the police to the DA to the judge to the media, reflect on america's crumbling society and brings chills to one's back and sickening feeling in one's stomach. From the 50s to the 90s to even the early 2010s when the murder of Betsy Faria took place, the unjust american justice system still continues to operate like a clunker car or a really unfunny joke. While what the show depicted were somewhat exaggerated for drama, in reality some of these people responsible for letting Hupp get away and Russel Faria wrongfully incarcerated remain unapologetic to this day. And what happened with Faria's case is merely what we are acknowledged and made aware of among countless wrongful convictions and imprisonments which had happened, are happening, and sure will keep happening in the "great country" of america.
