I love this movie so much

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This documentary is as biased as tv production gets You'll hear one side of the story, and see only what the producers want. Documentaries are done to make the watcher reach a conclusion based on facts. Showing parts of the story that entertains the needs of the producers, and hiding parts that don't is a targeted propaganda that deserves no respect.Any respectful filmmaker would involve the audience in every aspect of the case and provide needed information to let them decide. What I watched in this piece is merely a systematic persuasion to control the viewer's point of view in the direction suitable for the producer and in this case, the convicted murderer.The way the producers try to control the viewers thinking process is absolutely disgusting and shows no respect to their mentality and judgment.

My best tip for this series, is that if you find it a little slow at the beginning, stick with it!Ilwhilst this series has been knocked a little for being bias, your own instincts from some of the facts provided will have you torn in both directions as to the innocencevor guilt of the two involved.So engrossed was I, that I went to see the Lawyers used in this series, whilst on tour who did a great Q&A evening hosted by Professor David Wilson.This will be of all kinds of interest to people interested in law, justice, truth, police, human rights activists and of course the ripple effect of all those touxhed by this.

I have controversial feelings about this. When I watched the series I noticed they wanted to look like they present the case objectively, but I could still see they picked a side and there must be other things they didn't show. Reading the comments and articles now I know I was right.I think we can agree that the first episode was done well. The rest of it I'm not so sure. It played more on the dramatic, emotional side than the factual one. I really enjoyed it(that's why I rate it higher), but throughout the series I was like 70% sure he did not commit it and I'm pretty sure that number is 100% for most viewers from episode 4 at least. After reading some more about it now I would say it's 50-50, it's just one of those cases where I can't pick a side. Both stories told could have happened.Both of his defender lawyers looked like rational people, who actually cared about the truth. I thought this is like a reversed OJ case(innocent proved guilty, because police framed him as opposed to guilty proved innocent, because they say police framed him), but then I realized we, the viewers only have 10hours of knowledge from one perspective in a case very complicated. I don't think the jury trial is a good system, but nonetheless they spent more time listening to the case, has more insight than we do. But then again if you do a documentary showing every bit of detail that would take forever and most people wouldn't watch it through and wouldn't talk about it.As for the Brendan part I'm almost certain he didn't do it. It's ridiculous that you go to jail for the rest of your life just because your own statements. I mean let's be real here, the people talked kindly of this, but he was a very asocial, borderline retarded teenager. When I saw the video clip it reminded me of someone getting tortured who doesn't know anything and tries to figure out what he has to say to get out of the situation. Not someone who confesses horrible crimes to relieve it's soul from remorse. I hope he gets out eventually.

Not having been present at the trail, I of course cannot judge about the case. However, after having seen this documentary, I feel two quotes summarize how I now feel about the American justice system:"We can all say we will never commit a crime, But we can never guarantee that someone will never accuse us of a crime. And if that happens, good luck in this criminal justice system." (Jerry Buting, defense attorney). "If I'm gonna be perfectly candid, there's a big part of me that really hopes Steven Avery is guilty of this crime. Because the thought of him being innocent of this crime, um, and sitting in prison again . . . I can't take that." (Dean Strang, defense attorney).
