Wildly disturbing and sad and I only saw the first episode. It's really the ultimate commentary on our world before the Internet, social media, 24/7 media exposure, etc.
It was easy to believe MJ couldn't have possibly done those things because they weren't being reported or rumored about everywhere you looked. You were limited to newspapers - primarily entertainment-centric papers - or TV news. Maybe some magazines. Only in hindsight do we look back and say "how did people not know what was going on????"
The parents of the boys are definitely at fault but were absolutely under the haze of his stardom and the associated trappings there kids were enjoying. But I really tried to look at it from that pre-Internet lens that lacked hyper-availability of information 24/7.
