Filthy Rich effectively shows the vast systemic failure that allowed these girls to be victimized for so long. ... The series is at its best when amplifying the voices of Epstein’s survivors. One by one, they tell their stories revealing the painful details and providing important insight into the experience of surviving sexual assault and trauma. Read full review

Epstein’s death, which remains a murky element, helps this series concentrate on the area where it can illuminate his grim case most potently: that is, on first-hand accounts from his victims, who at all times have a great deal more to say on the subject than he does, whether in recorded deposition (which is almost the only time we see him speaking) or from beyond the grave.

Movie Nation Roger Moore

In four episodes that range from enraging to heartbreaking, we get to hear from victims, from appalled law enforcement complaining of compromised prosecutors, from business associates and ex-employees of the super-rich pedophile infamous for his “Orgy Island/Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean.

Eye-opening at certain points and self-protectively myopic at others. Viewers will come to Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich with a lot of different needs, expectations or requirements, and those may play a large role in whether or not the result satisfies. Read full review

This faltering start is unfortunate, because beginning with episode 2, the miniseries develops as an impressive work of investigation, victim advocacy and sandbagging. ... The “survivors” of Epstein’s exploitation aren’t always their own best witnesses. Director Bryant, who began this film a year before the final arrest of Epstein (which may explain the series’ structure), allows the young women to speak without interruption—not without editing, but without questions being posed during shooting.

Filthy Rich is a good enough starting point if you know little about Jeffrey Epstein, but it doesn’t crack anything open. The best thing the documentary does is let you hear from the survivors directly. Read full review

Ultimately, the shoddy storytelling does a great disservice to the women so bravely sharing their trauma on camera. “Filthy Rich” somehow manages to spreads itself too thin while also offering very little in the way of new information. Read full review

This documentary delivered despite being incomplete. Myself and many only knew that Eipstein was a rich criminal who "hung himself".

Eipstein's so powerful that he's still buryingThis documentary delivered despite being incomplete. Myself and many only knew that Eipstein was a rich criminal who "hung himself". This series shed light that Eipstein and his wife Ghislaine were psychopathic ring leaders of underage girls. Eipstein's so powerful that he's still burying this case in his grave. He probably murdered dozens that went against him, and no one will ever know. At least with the series awareness, more people will try to bring justice for the silenced victims. It's time to ask the important questions like where is Ghislaine Maxwell? And why did Alex Acosta free Eipstein?… Expand

I feel bad for all of the real victims. It was clear some of the women were in it for the money, TV attention and civil lawsuits. My bet is criminal people of power had a plan to get him free by faking his suicide. Don't hate, it's just my opinion. Watch it again, open up your mind. It allI feel bad for all of the real victims.

Jeffrey Epstein (and any scumbag, rich or not, who preys on women of any age, but especially underagd ones) is a scumbag. The only regret for his death is that there wasn't a chance to expose more scumbags.

Having said that, I'm having a hard time with some of these stories. I'm hearingJeffrey Epstein (and any scumbag, rich or not, who preys on women of any age, but especially underagd ones) is a scumbag. The only regret for his death is that there wasn't a chance to expose more scumbags.

Having said that, I'm having a hard time with some of these stories. I'm hearing less rape or molestation, and more underage prostitution. I find it more creepy that the one painter took nude photos of her underage sisters to paint than what happened to her. And the other girl who seems more shook up over her three years of prostitution than seeing her step brother beaten to death.

Again, no mercy for Epstein, but there are a lot of other failures going on here. Mainly with parents and relatives of these victims. How are 14 year olds ending up at a rich middle-aged guy's houses in the first pace? Why is the painter not being indicted for child porn? This whole docuseries seems to be more about exploiting the pain of the victims and less about who Epstein was and how he managed to do this for so long. FAIL!… Expand
