“Believe Me” is a true crime drama that delves into the Metropolitan Police’s inadequacies in handling the case of John Worboys, a former taxi driver and prolific sex offender, convicted in 2009 for assaulting twelve women. The series follows victims Sarah and Laila, who faced further disparagement from the police, and their legal battle against the Met for failing to investigate their allegations. They ultimately win, leading to a successful campaign that ensures Worboys remains imprisoned. The show emphasizes the need for cultural changes in how institutions treat victims, encouraging women to come forward without fear of disbelief or shame.
