Timely and haunting, if far from perfect. ... Although he was still in jail when Kondelis began filming, it’s the back half of Outcry, which follows him post-incarceration, that feels most profound.

A viewer might be tempted to search online and learn the eventual outcome, which only came late last year, but I recommend watching all five parts to get the full emotional effect of a seven-year journey from innocence to guilt and back again.

Showtime's new docuseries Outcry produces five hours of strange visceral responses, because it isn't particularly mysterious and it generates its empathy in a peculiar way. Still, it's provocative and infuriating — and if it feels somewhat padded, the duration is thematically justified.

The series would have profited handsomely from cutting. “Outcry” is, nevertheless, an immensely moving piece of history.

We wish that the first episode went into more details about the boys’ accusations and the trial that ensued. Otherwise, it was a lot of the same song being sung, that this kid couldn’t possibly have done what he was accused of doing; it made for a particularly slow-moving first episode.

This was really excellent. We have a tendency to mindlessly attack anyone accused of child molestation. When the wheels of justice start turning we realize that through specialization and compartmentalization a clearly innocent person can be imprisoned for years and harassed relentlessly the whole way, by people who each never doubt doing the right thing. Also, i love a good forensic analysis, it was very well done and orderly.
