Chasing Ghislaine raises important questions about the justice system, privilege, and the abuse of power. The series takes a hard look at the way that social mobility, class, and influence have historically made powerful people immune from accountability for their actions. In doing so, the audience is left wondering if the duo of Epstein and Maxwell can be considered outliers in a world where such crimes have been a sad reality for a long time.

Overall, the series is well-made and completely fascinating. It explores the crimes associated with the duo of Epstein and Maxwell through a personal lens that is both heartbreaking and deeply human. The series is making its mark on viewers by shining a light on an issue that too often remains in the shadows.
