 Abstract: 
				»Tracy  Everbach  discusses  how  the  Netflix miniseries  Unbelievable  (2019)  offers  a  feminist  deconstruction  of  traditional rape and sexual assault portrayals featured in male-centered dramas that feature women as victims and men as cops and criminals. By focusing on  the  work  of  two  women  detectives, Unbelievable  presents  survivors being believed and treated with empathy and respect, and decreases the usually indulgent and underserved attention to the perpetrator, thereby making a powerful statement about conditions within rape culture.«
