This miniseries was manipulative, it was easy to pick out their agenda and that agenda wasn't to present a story unbiasedly at all. And painting Mia Farrow as some powerless victim was off too, she's worth $60 Million, she had her own high powered team of attorneys too.
Did Woody molest Dylan? I don't know, but I know when I'm viewing something dishonest, and the filmmakers for this series presented this in a way that was dishonest.
This documentary told 1 side of a contentious story, and only 1 side. And DAs always want to bring charges, that's their job. No court ever found there was abuse, even the custody hearing that is pointed to, the judge rejected the allegation of sexual abuse. That judge also said Mia's filming of her child making the accusations actually hurt the investigation.
Not going to go over every detail, because Woody Allen is still a creep for dating and marrying his step daughter and doesn't deserve an advocate IMO, but this documentary was not fair regarding potential abuse and everyone is owed fairness.
