As per NBC News' description for the 30-minute documentary, "The Depp vs Heard defamation trial evoked two distinct reactions -- those who couldn't get enough and those who received more than they wanted.

"The new deep-dive documentary explores why the trial overwhelmed social media, specifically TikTok, and what viewers missed if social media coverage was their only news source. In the wake of a verdict that surprised legal experts, NBC News examines how the trial evolved into a TikTok trial and what the verdict means for future domestic abuse cases."
