Emmy-nominated four-part series for Apple TV on the extraordinary rise and fall of Carlos Ghosn.
“Gripping and, yes, deeply reported, often in real time, Wanted is a gripping take on a wild story that provides generous helpings of rich context, a necessary if sometimes overlooked ingredient in nonfiction filmmaking.
It turns out Wanted isn’t just an investigation; it’s also a caper, depicted in reenactments that boast the editing and cinematography chops of an Ocean’s Eleven movie. The series has its cake and eats it, too, blending high-stakes, shoe-leather reporting with thriller sizzle.”
Rolling Stone
“Because it’s not looking for the sugar spike of a quick gotcha moment, Wanted is able to look at not just legal culpability, but also moral. Taylor and others who moved through Ghosn’s orbit, experienced painful ramifications the former business titan didn’t. With its exemplary production values – the urban establishing shots look like a Michael Mann film – this series captures everything you need to know about Carlos Ghosn’s fall from grace. But the care with which it is assembled means that the how and the why are deeply intertwined. There’s nothing left to hide behind.”
Sydney Morning Herald
“Utterly compelling”
Sunday Times
“A compelling study of grey areas and often contrasting truths”
The Financial Times
“For those who prefer their documentaries much glossier, there is this juicy and fascinating story of the automotive industry executive Carlos Ghosn. The tale is a wild one: Ghosn was the head of Nissan and Renault and was arrested in Japan for financial misdeeds. After being held there in what he called unjust conditions, he escaped — in a trunk on a private plane, in a caper orchestrated by a former Green Beret. “Wanted” is elegantly straightforward, letting the outrageousness of the saga unfold with lucid talking-head explanations. If you enjoy high-end moral ambiguity, dig in.”
New York Times
“This twisty, dramatic tale will leave you agog…
A smart take on a riveting tangle of power, money and greed.”
The Guardian
“Riveting… Jones’ engaging docuseries is a snapshot of people and systems that manipulate and exploit for gain, and the myriad others (from confidants and colleagues to conspirators and shareholders) who suffer for their sins.”
Daily Beast
“Incredible true crime documentary… plays out like a Hollywood thriller.”
Daily Mail
“Unfolds like a twisty thriller”
CNN
“Very good… entertaining filmmaking. Bravo.”
