Making A Murderer: 1.01 *Spoilers within*

The Black Oil

Finally got around to this the other night. It has somewhat of a Michael Moore quality about it, imo, albeit without the stunts. Not to say this is a criticism, but the visuals, human stories, court room footage and so forth seem like what Moore would put together.

I forget the exact nature of sexual assualt on the beach, but it was pretty horrific. The police certainly do not come out of it well, so far. I was very much struck by the the emotional impact on Avery's family and box of legal documents they needed in their efforts to appeal. And also, how legal systems and/or their agents can be somewhat blind to potential kinks and faults within their areas of operation - the need to protect careers and the institution itself.

I know there's a lot more to come based on a from a cursory glance at the other thread. 1.01 ends with a cliffhanger, of course. Typical Netflix. :pac:

I doubt this thread will quite kick off !

I know. It was an experiment after some feedback in the main TV forum. I haven't gotten around to any more episodes yet. Have you watched it yourself?

In that case I'd suggest that you avoid watching the Ray Darcy Show tonight as one of Steven Avery's lawyer's is a guest tonight. Given that you've barely scratched the surface, of the tip, of the iceberg that lays ahead, then trust me you do not want them spoiling it.

Thanks. I figured as much. Don't like Ray anyway. Have just watched 1.02 which I found quite disturbing. For a murder doc with little blood (so far) that's saying something.
