The three-part docuseries produced by Blue Ant Studios and premiered June 24, 2021, examines the life of Ghislaine Maxwell, tracing her upbringing as the daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, her socialite years, her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the lead-up to her arrest on sex-trafficking charges. It features interviews (with people willing to speak) and previously unseen footage of the Maxwell family, seeking to show how she became part of a network of power, money, and abuse.
While ably charting Maxwell’s trajectory, the series has been critiqued for being more character study than legal deconstruction—highlighting her dynamics with father, lovers and society, rather than deeply probing the broader institutional failures that enabled Epstein’s crimes. One reviewer noted that although it offers “plenty of potential answers,” it still frames Maxwell as a “fascinating villain” rather than focusing first and foremost on systemic accountability.
