"Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
I was going to post it in Other, or another forum, but decided to keep it here.
It took me 3 days to watch the 10 episodes but I could probably watch it in one day. It was compared to The Jinx and Serial, so my expectations were really high. After watching the first episode I was a little let down, based on the previous buzz. But by the third episode my blood was boiling. I didn't cry but felt really sad during the entire series. Some things that happen, when you watch it in a fictional show, they may sound funny, dark humor, and stuff. Sadly this was real life. I will stop here, and wait for some replies to talk more details about the show and the case. |

Haven't started it yet. I was less than 50 miles from this psycho.

I loved The Jinx so, so much. If this is in the same ballpark, I'm in.

I'm 3 episodes in. Glad you made a thread; I almost did one a couple of days ago. Avery definitely is not a model citizen, but my blood boils too. At this point in the story it really does feel like the police might have framed him, as unbelievable as it sounds.

I finished ep one. I assume it's just the tip of the iceberg?

I will wait until more people watch the entire series to make more comments.
By episode 4-5 you'll feel an urgent need to google the story. Don't do it. Believe me. Don't do it. |
re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
Blew through this in a couple of days. Wasn't expecting to get sucked into it as much as I was.
Definitely don't google what happens if you don't know. Spoiler:

I watched this with my wife. I'm sure she got annoyed at me on how much I was yelling at the screen.

re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
I watched the first two episodes today and am fighting the urge not to Google.

re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
My daughter and I watched the first three episodes tonight. What a crazy case. Avoiding Google, but doubt this ends well.
Very interested in it, but feel it could move a little quicker. Wondering how they can milk this story for ten full hours. |
re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
I'm on episode 5. If I'm ever in trouble I want Avery's lawyers lol
|
re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
The documentary makes Avery's lawyers to look like movie lawyers indeed.
But. |
re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
I live fairly close to where all this shit went down. It's pretty much the talk of the town around here. I look forward to starting the series tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how much I remember.

re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
I think I watched six episodes yesterday (two the day before). At 10:30 I was debating watching one more, but then I knew I would probably want to watch the last one.

re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
Went through all the episodes this weekend.
I agree that the show has an obvious bias towards the defendants and is set up to make the cops and prosecutors look bad... Spoiler:

Being a real life event, and kind of recent event, most of the people involved, the ones that are free, have online accounts. And you can imagine what has happened after the documentary was released.
The defense lawyers are fine of course. Manitowoc Twitter and Facebook accounts not so much. Kratz yelp page? You can imagine the reviews. Also, it's clear to me that for most locals Avery was guilty. That's what most people is commenting online. Some have doubts now, after watching the documentary. |
