The Lady And The Dale 8/10
I decided to watch this four part docu-series The Last And The Dale just because I saw the car in the poster and knew it from when I was a kid. It was this weird ass three wheeled car so I thought “Oh, this is about some woman that made it or something.” Holy shit. It was about so much more than that. As soon as I started watching my Spider Sense started tingling when Elizabeth Carmichael showed up. I won't spoil this series because I want people to go into it blind. That's what I did and what I have been telling people to do. This is about the car, the life of a criminal, gender issues, the law, family, and prison. Just so much stuff! I liked that Carmichael was a criminal but also a loving parent and both sides of that were shown. This wasn't like some series where the family is involved so it paints the person as a victim and ignores all the wrong they did. This one was like “Yeah, you all may have loved and cared for her but she is a thief and criminal!” I would have rated this even higher but the use of animated cut outs too often would yank me out of the story. Check this out on HBO Max.
