Michael Jackson simboliza uma série de coisas para muita gente. Quando em 1993 é acusado de alegados abusos sexuais envolvendo dois jovens, muitos recusaram-se a aceitar que o Rei da Pop possa ser responsável por tais atos horrendos. O primeiro episódio acompanha Jimmy, Wade e respetivas famílias à medida que se deixam seduzir pela existência de conto de fadas do cantor e fascinar pela sua relação com ele. As famílias de ambos os rapazes não parecem ver a manipulação e abusos a que Jackson os submete. No segundo episódio: James e Wade atingem a adolescência e perdem a sua posição “privilegiada” ao deixarem de ser o centro das atenções de Jackson. Contudo, mantêm os segredos e a sua lealdade a ele.

Michael Jackson has always been some kind of a weirdo for me but he made such a good music that he remains an intriguing character for many to this day. For many people he is still a popular topic for a different reason than his fans would probably like. The documentary called Leaving Neverland, made by HBO (and therefore not a fiction), introduces Michael’s darker side that everybody knows about but it has never been talked about so explicitly. Hearing it from the people he molested is a lot to take in. Four hours is a long footage for a documentary but it is worth it. I will not change my mind about his music but I have definitely changed my mind about him as a person...

As a report on a part of Michael Jackson's private and public life, Leaving Neverland is obviously an important piece of work. I'm glad the former victims spoke up and were heard, especially if they had to relive their unequal relationship with Jackson over and over again and only collapsed after their own children were the same age as they were when Jackson first welcomed them to Neverland. The length and exclusive HBO distribution are problematic. The downside is the attempt to retroactively censor the pop culture of which Jackson was a part for so many years.
