I was expecting more of an independent look or balance in this thing going into it, and it seems there are 25% of the people interviewed are or for the victims of Sandusky, and the other are 75% on the side of Paterno or the school pleading ignorance.
None of the people important to establishing a third-party POV to the situation, like Sara Ganim, state or local officials, ex-school officials, etc. Are interviewed which is beyond disappointing as it doesn't provide any additional context to this situation. It is a very binary presentation of what happened in Happy Valley.
It doesn't help the last part of the show is a defense of Joe Paterno from all of his allies and family. I'm sure PSU fans loved it, but the rest of the audience does not understand why this had to be a part of the film.
