Netflix and 50 Cent’s harrowing new series looks back at the disgraced music mogul’s rise to fame and fall from grace
The controversial Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning had already been called a “shameful hitpiece” by the disgraced mogul’s lawyers after a trailer was released on Monday.
Now after all four episodes have been dropped on Netflix, it’s been called “grimly necessary” and a “relentless” portrait of “a terrifying individual” by critics.
The series, produced by Combs’s longtime rival Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, chronicles his rise to fame and details some of the allegations made against him over the years.
It features a wide range of voices, including former members of his inner circle, several former employees and associates, childhood friends, artists who were signed to his label Bad Boy Records, two jurors from his federal trial, and several people who have filed civil lawsuits against Combs, some accusing him of sexual assault – allegations that Combs has denied.
