Netflix’s new docuseries, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich has landed, and people have been shocked by it, but honestly, it lacks a real conclusion.
The docuseries is a four-part series and spends most of its time going over what happened before Epstein ended up in prison.
It really does lift the lid on the billionaire financier and paedophile, who is now deceased.
He was a very mysterious man. People didn’t know how he really managed to make all the money he did.
After watching the docuseries, it seems as though he basically lied and charmed his way to the top.
However, then there’s the question of how he made such close friends with people like former President, Bill Clinton.
He was very friendly with very powerful people, and he was brutally abusing underage women for years without being stopped until it was far too late.
Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich does show a lot of that, and they even managed to interview one of his lawyers, Alan Dershowitz, which was a bit of a coup for them.
There’s so much more to the Jeffrey Epstein story that’s what’s in Filthy Rich

He’s one of the men who managed to get him just a few month’s sentence in a very cushy prison the first time he was ‘caught’.
He’s also been implicated by some of the women who were living on Epstein’s island.
These are allegations that Dershowitz firmly denies.
However, the truth of the matter is that Epstein really had a hold over very important people, and there’s something incredibly fishy with the way he died.
I thought the docuseries was actually really well thought out and they interviewed many of the survivors who recount the harrowing events they had to endure.
This is all very important when tackling a man like Epstein.
However, there remained a huge unanswered question at the end of the four-part series.
That question is: who killed Jeffrey Epstein?
The official line is that he killed himself, yet all the evidence suggests he was killed.
So, who had him killed, and why?
Did Epstein really take his own life, or was he killed?

There are countless reasons why people in high places would want Epstein killed.
He was obviously a man who had a lot of dirt on people, which is why many people think that Bill Clinton might be behind Epstein’s death.
However, none of these questions are really addressed in this docuseries, which means it doesn’t really have a conclusion.
This is often the case with these sorts of docuseries.
They are great at pulling you in to watch right until the end, and they leave it basically open-ended.
That was the case with shows such as Making A Murderer and Tiger King.
The truth is life doesn’t always give you answers.
These are rolling stories, and we might get an answer eventually.
However, it would have been interesting to see this Jeffrey Epstein docuseries try and investigate his odd death.

This was the thing that I really wanted to see, but I also appreciate the people who made this because it finally gave a voice to his many victims.
I would also hope that people like Prince Andrew are eventually brought to justice.
Yet, I do not envisage that happening any time soon.
Then there’s Epstein’s girlfriend, who’s seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth.
Ghislaine Maxwell has been accused of both procuring girls for him and abusing a number herself.
These are allegations which she has repeatedly denied, yet I’m hoping she will be brought to justice in time.
Will Jeffrey Epstein’s victims ever really get justice?

The survivors all made her role in Epstein’s horrendous acts very clear.
She was basically a pusher and the person who found the girls for Epstein.
I’m glad this was made, and I hope Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich will open the floodgates.
I’m hoping that more men in high places who were close to Epstein are put under the microscope.
