“A love-hate affair with the streaming channel u0026quot;Victim/Suspectu0026quot; is now offered on makes me subscribe, and then unsubscribe. Whether or not Iu0026#39;m the person who invented the term u0026quot;exoneration tv,u0026quot; I know hands-down u0026quot;Victim/Suspectu0026quot; is among the best Iu0026#39;ve seen on the service… because it may be the first to focus on women.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMs. De Leon, the reporter/narrator, is terse and excellent in helping several victims tell the horrors they experienced when they turned to the police for help after a rape. One victim is not present–because after a rape by a well-connected Southerner she was arrested for making a false report, and then committed suicide. In terms of grabbing the vieweru0026#39;s attention, the filmmakers made the right choice to include her story as early in the documentary as they did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wish so strongly Netflix would consider a subsidiary service for social conservatives who arenu0026#39;t heartless and who may perhaps know what the other side of the tracks are like. Shame, that I got notified of u0026quot;Victim/Suspectu0026#39;su0026quot; availability before I cancel my subscription yet again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne final comment: the women brave enough to participate in this documentary were pretty, bright, and connected in some way with higher education. Unfortunately, I donu0026#39;t have to wonder how women who arenu0026#39;t pretty, from a loving family, and unwilling to attach themselves to the success factory called u0026quot;universityu0026quot; or u0026quot;collegeu0026quot; make out.”
