I was browsing on Netflix for something to watch, and decided to give this a try because it had an interesting name. This series was totally worth watching, as I have done many times. At the time I first watched it, I had no idea it was based on a real crime. With the exception of the main character, Marie Adler, all the names are fabricated(I think). In my opinion, the writing was good, the acting was top-notch, the story-telling aspect was great, the drama behind it was awesome, etc. I highly recommend you watch this.
