Making of a Murderer - no spoilers

[rikki]

Is anyone else watching this? I just started the third episode. I'm totally ignoring my kids and am engulfed in it. I have a feeling I'll be up all night. It happened like 30 miles from where I grew up. I can't believe I didn't know if it at the time. irene adler

I keep hearing about this! What's the premise/backstory? Is it a documentary? I guess I could just Google too.

Off to Google!

My husband tried to convince me to stay up last night to finish it. We had started it the night before. We are obsessed. It is so fascinating and frustrating.

[swank]

We are watching episode 6 right now. It's unbelievable.

Just started episode 3.

It's so weird it popped up on my Netflix earlier and I started it and then there was a post on ml and here about it. Fate

I didn't see the ML one. Are there spoilers? I want to know everything but to finish it first. Again, mind blown I lived in this area and had no clue.

Yeah there was a few spoilers

I know, no underwear?!?!

I just started episode 9. I'm dying to discuss this with people.

[lala]

The underwear, lol. We are watching episode 6 right now. So good but crazy and sad.

[piaffe]

I started this yesterday, I just keep going through so many different emotions. Tomorrow I'll spend reading all the Reddit threads.

I want to watch it, but I don't have Netflix! It happened so close, but I don't really know much about it.

Calumet County handled the second investigation!! I need to ask my parents if they remember all of this-- I'm sure they do.

Right?!?! I just finished episode 4 and it almost hurts to watch. I was only 5 when the original crime happened (fun fact--the candy I sent lurknomore came from Beersteins. How timely! ) and didn't live there when the second crime happened, but I feel like I know these people (the general sense--I haven't actually seen anyone I know)

I was still in WI at Christmas, and people were PISSED about this documentary--50% on behalf of the family (making them relive these horrific events) and 50 % because it makes the whole of Manitowoc county look like a bunch of uneducated hicks or shady. I posted the fb thing that is going around in the mm thread.

Also, the subtitles with the accents is killing me (and they probably should have hired someone to translate colloquialism, because those are mostly off)

I remember this case from a Dateline episode. I'm looking forward to getting more in depth with it.

I am watching episode 9 right now. I am obsessed! Between this and serial it really has me thinking about the conduct of some law enforcement officers and how prosecutors make a case that fits their theory of what happened.

[barefootcontessa]

What I do not understand is why LE from the M county just did not stay out of the investigation, as they said they were going to do at the outset. The fact they inserted themselves into the investigation, along with evidence they ignored contrary potential evidence in the first case, makes their findings very suspect.

[browneyedgirl9]

We just started watching last night!

[vtdiamond]

My coworkers were just talking about this. I'm hoping to start watching it this weekend.

It should!

I would like to think that the chronic killing of innocent black men and subsequent "innocence" of their killers in LE is also having this effect on a practically daily basis. If this brings more people to question some of the work being done it is good, but a little sad that it takes a borderline intellectually disabled white man and an eloquent middle eastern man to do it.
