"Like Nietzsche, Genet believed in the "transvaluation of all values", by which bad is good and the ugly is beautiful. Whereas most writers treated homosexuality as a disease, Genet took the stronger position in linking it with evil and crime and sin. He invented the drag queen for literature in Divine in this novel."

"My dad took me to a drive-in to see this when I was eight years old. It was badass then. It’s badass now. The great George V. Higgins contributed a tough but artful new authenticity to American crime writing. David Mamet, among others, owes a lot to Mr. Higgins. And Christ, Mitchum is fantastic."

True crime documentaries are my jam. But, this one fell really short. There were only four episodes, and they didn't really go into much depth on the evidence or techniques for a show called 'Exhibit A'. The cases were interesting, but the amount of time spent on them was frustrating.

Just another Netflix bummer.
