the cross cutting between marie talking and the two detectives going over the images.... absolutely GENIUS

[revelinknation]

I think it’s beautiful how it was raining so hard when marie came in and she was guarded and cold but as time passes, it started to get sunny outside again just as she opens up to the therapist

"Even with good people.. even with people you can kinda trust..
When the truth is inconvenient, they don't believe it. Even if they really care about you, they just.. they just don't."

She is an acting fiend. Just incredible.

A good therapist does not judge, place blame, act superior, or condescending to the victim. They help by understanding, reassurance, coping with tools they'll need for the rest of their lives. Being truthful. All things the police did not do. To Serve And Protect. Many do, but many could care less.

This series alone was worth my Netflix subscription that month

The line: "no one cares about you. Only you do. Even they are your loved ones. Even they want to. " This has the ultimate truth.

I googled Marie Adler because she is so inspiring but I felt guilty for invading her privacy. She forgave her foster parents. I am so astounded that she did. She has a husband and two kids and works as a truck driver. I hope wherever she is she is living her best life and has given hope to many

My favorite scene in the entire series. Nothing fancy, just wonderfully written monologue and a powerful performance.

Just saw the show last night. POWERFUL !! I'm studying counseling and the way the therapist is handling this is exquisite . I know it's a dramatization but I'm actually learning some of these techniques. Good role model . Also I loved the contrast between the way the Washington cops and the Colorado cops. The respect and gentleness, and the stance of being an ally.

Went from talking about a Movie to revealing the truth about why she's so upset. Therapist will get you no matter what. Skills

[vickythecat]

Best tv show I've watched in a long time - very thought-provoking, insightful, truthful .... and empowering and hopeful.

The tension of the injustice upon Marie bears heavy on the story especially after the guy is caught. When the 2 detectives lean into the screen and you see Marie's face, the dam breaks and you are broken. You couldn't write a fiction more loaded and compelling. Its an incredible story told exceptionally well.

It is sick those policemen gaslighted her and it is truly unbelievable that it needed to be two policewomen to care enough to actually solve this case. Many outcomes from this, most importantly those two cops that destroyed poor Marie and treated her like a little big inconvenient problem because they “have better and more important things to do” should be condemned. Oh you men who judge and mistreat who you should be taking care of, you will see how it all turns against you eventually. Someone that doesn’t have a little respect for a potential rape victim is even sicker than the violator, because they know what the victim is going through and they choose to make her feel like sh*t and even worse made her say it was all a lie and judge her for that because you couldn’t do your job and saw a poor little child as “attention seeker” because her parents didn’t love her like she totally deserved to be loved

[PlaceForAnEcho]

This is the scene that wrecked me. It’s THE SCENE that made me cry and keep crying with fucking chest pain. Nearly every episode had my eyes watering but this scene was so heavy and quiet. She was so shut down and in so much pain. I remember therapy sessions like this. Feeling so disconnected and talking robotically on purpose because if emotions slipped in talking would have been impossible. When she said “I would lie earlier and better...I would figure it out by myself” that’s when I lost it. Because there’s such an appeal in burying it all because you know in your gut people aren’t going to support you enough. Some will turn on you because the truth is too much for them. “If the truth is inconvenient.”

Also that was the most dramatic telling of Zombieland EVER. When Merrit says she looks 12 I cried more.

And how dare anyone vote this down.

[angelanguyen]

I love these powerful monologue scenes, and often very relatable in some way.

[_ThinAir_]

Such a powerfull scene and great acting. The story is so heavy and they managed to portrait that perfectly real in that series.

[GolDenHeaRts]

I will now refer people to this series when someone asks why wouldn’t she\He just say something right away ? If it really happened then they would wait so long to say something?
