As with most reality shows, this one looks completely scripted. Are these "ordinary citizens" blind not to see all the red flags waving in their faces? Anyone released from prison and in order to maintain their freedom, should be happy to toe whatever line is given to them and obey the rules of the houses where they are staying. That should be a no-brainer.

Parolees are given terms of their parole before being released from prison. They also have to see their parole officer in person, not over FaceTime when they are given another set of the same instructions to which they must adhere. The young man who said he was gonna see his home boy who was also on parole, would have known up front that that meeting would not be allowed.

Worst of all, the show's producers made my city look like a cow town. Really. The word Indianapolis popped up on the screen in one episode and they showed a cow's butt. There was a quick glimpse of the Ann, Dancing downtown street sign, but no skyline shots, cityscapes, or any other impressive buildings or architecture that makes this a beautiful city.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
