Netflix: Making a Murderer

[Marz69]

Filmed over a 10-year period, Making a Murderer is an unprecedented real-life thriller about Steven Avery, a DNA exoneree who, while in the midst of exposing corruption in local law enforcement, finds himself the prime suspect in a grisly new crime. Set in America's heartland, the series takes viewers inside a high-stakes criminal case where reputation is everything and things are never as they appear.

So much publicity on this, I decided to binge it. Half way through. Crazy. Some seriously shady stuff going on.

Anybody else watching this?

People are acting like this is the greatest show ever made, lol.

 

[Lady C]

Yes, I have seen it. I found it very interesting but also sad

Yeah.

I saw everyone going nuts on Twitter and decided to watch. Found myself getting pretty bored of it by episode 7. Main reason I finished was just to see what happened with them over the years.

It was good. Mainly the the first half. But nowhere near as amazing as people are making it out to be.

 

[Soapy]

Everyone's comparisons to The Jinx only hurt it I think. When you're expecting some kind of crazy revelation at the end, you can't help but feel at least a little disappointed when it doesn't come. It is really good though.

I cant help but think that Brendon's father (step father?) Scott has something to do with this.

I finished it. After the first episode, it got compelling.

He looked a bit shady. But everyone was looking shady by the time I finished

I don't know if Steve was guilty of the 2nd crime, but I feel like he might not have done it. The testimony of that deputy makes me think the deputy found her car & body and they framed Steve.

But regardless, I was irritated by the coerced confession of a mentally challenged minor w/o his mother present

 

[Donner]

I believe Avery did it. Occam's Razor. Either Avery killed Theresa, the cops did it to frame him, or someone else did and the cops got really lucky in that they had an opportunity to frame Avery. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Avery killed her.

 

[Whatupman]

Just finished all of the episodes. It was really interesting, and I actually don't think that Avery did it. So many things that don't make any sense. So he cleaned up all the blood in the garage perfectly, but didn't care enough to clean up the obvious blood in the car?

But I can't of course be sure that Avery didn't do it. I have only watched the netflix show, and it wasn't exactly unbiased.

New evidence surfaced from Steve Avery's current lawyer, Kathleen Zellner.

Apparently, the three phone calls Steve made to Theresa are in question. Cell Phone tower logs show that Steve Avery never left his property during the three calls but Theresa's cell phone did.

He could have had someone call from his phone as an alibi (nephew). But that would require some thought. And he wasn't the smartest guy. So this could get him an appeal.

The phone calls were always a bit strange. Weren't there a couple that were deleted. We know the ex-bf hacked into the phone but he doesn't recall if he deleted anything... something like that.

Having some of the burnt remains being in a place other than his backyard is also curious.

Bizarre case.

FAR from it...

Nice. I thought it was all over.

 

[Broseph44]

Can’t wait

 

[Elayis]

Not sure how I feel about someone like Steve Avery getting more attention when his innocence was questionable at best and the biases of the filmmakers is suspect. I still haven't gotten around to watching the final two episodes of the first season.

 

[squeekness]

The series put up a lot of reasonable doubt, especially the way the nephew was questioned. I'll never trust confessions again.

I thought they did a good job of offering reasonable doubt, especially where the nephew is concerned. I'll never trust a confession alone again, especially when it's a minor.
