**What is Ghislaine Maxwell: The Making Of A Monster about?**

The first episode (which aired on Tuesday 5 July) focuses on Maxwell’s youth and young adulthood, including interviews with those who knew her well at the time. Various people will attest to her unusual behaviour and, in the first episode, we hear from writer George Monbiot and journalist Mariella Frostrup, who give us a more personal insight into Maxwell.

The second episode explores Ghislaine and Epstein’s “high life” and the crimes that were committed behind closed doors, while the final third episode (aptly entitled ‘The Reckoning’) follows the beginning of the end for Maxwell, as rumours of underage sexual abuse began to circulate.

Although only three episodes, it is a chilling watch, not least because it includes first-hand accounts from some of the victims who detail what happened to them. This comes just a week after Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in a US prison for recruiting and trafficking girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.
