History YMMV / Unbelievable

* CompleteMonster:[[spoiler:Christopher [=McCarthy=] is a SerialRapist who breaks into the homes of women, ties them up and violates them for hours, taking pictures as trophies for himself. This is what befalls Marie Adler at the beginning, with [=McCarthy=] operating across state lines to be, as he believes, untraceable over different jurisdictions. When caught, it is revealed [=McCarthy=] has many more victims than is first believed, with possibly dozens hidden in the trophies on his hard drive. Utterly remorseless, [=McCarthy=] refuses any semblance of guilt for the lives he damaged for his own gratification]].

** A variant but Marie ending the series, finally able to move on and calling up Karen to thank her and Grace for everything and letting Karen know they made Marie believe in other people again, certainly qualifies as well. After everything she's been through, it's a truly satisfying conclusion for both.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: GoodVictimsBadVictims is bullshit. It allows people to brush off evidence of horrible things happening to someone because the victim doesn't act the way they "should", and even "good" victims are often expected to brush off what happens to them because forgiveness is the "right" thing to do. The show unambiguously condemns that narrative, and is ''very'' unsubtle about it, but it's clearly something that needs to be said.

* CatharsisFactor: It's incredibly satisfying to watch Rasmussen [[spoiler: send Parker the images of Marie and to see him very quickly realize she was telling the truth the entire time and that he and Pruitt very sorely screwed up the case.]]
