Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

tristanspohn The fact is that this was a great compelling show, and had a very strong entertainment value, and that is what we have to look at, and that is what I used in rating this show.The hope is for this to raise a conversation, and the treatment of individuals in the system can be vastly improved and this does great at conveying that idea.Its problem and the problem a lot of people have with it is its manipulation by omission. I thought that Avery and Dassey were wrongfully convicted wholeheartedly by the end of it. Not necessarily that they were 100% innocent, but that they weren't undeniably certifiably without a shadow of a doubt guilty.Research did great at changing that, and it was surprising to learn just how much was left out, and how critical it was. Producers claimed time, but they included a lot of less important bits than what they included.If you do a bit of research, you see just how bad Avery looked, and it really destroyed the image of good guy at heart with an awful lot of rotten luck image the show portrayed.His past offenses were really bad, and the evidence they omitted was very damning. It was testified or said by him in the documentary that he had never even talked to Halbach, yet he knew her well enough to repeatedly call and request for her.He was released and cleared 18 years after his wrongful rape conviction, but had personally admitted and been accused of multiple sexual assaults.I won't get into it all, but that's the tip of the iceberg,and are things that play a huge role of perception of innocence. It was stupid and ridiculous to think someone could be released from serving 18 years for a rape he didn't commit to turn around and months later rape and murder Halbach. It would be completely idiotic and make no sense, which is something that would have given him leverage. Because its tough to go pointing fingers at the man just undeniably exonerated for the same crime.He intentionally doused a cat in gasoline and threw them into a fire, and I'm sorry but that's despicable. The show made it seem accidental. It wasn't.I think that Brendan Dassey was given a raw and unfair deal. One piece of evidence that does look bad for Dassey that was left out is the fact that his mother claimed he helped Avery clean his garage with bleach, the location many investigators believed to be the murder site, but that is heresy.Dassey was convicted based on his own confession which he then denied and coupled with the fact about the garage floor with bleach from what I read that was it. Whether he did it or not, that was unfair and unjust. How can you convict someone based on what they say when they said the opposite as well? You can't pick and choose.Regardless a well-crafted show.

stuetel As soon as this show came out and I knew what it was about I knew I had to see it. I am a real crime lover and I love to dive into cases to see if I can solve them or notice other things that haven't been noticed before. I've watched the show completely 5 times and every single time I see new details. There is simply too much information to process in one watch. It's given me a lot to think about and I am still thinking about it every now and then, deciding what my opinion is. I am waiting impatiently on the new season!

pattikadlec He set the cops up!! He's been in jail along time before all this he figured out how to get away with it by saying they are setting him up. He for sure did it and now just knows how to get away with it and get paid , too... just saying

cheergal I agree with one unfavorable review. Steve Avery is guilty as charged. His lawyers failed to exonerate him with one fickle reason, police planted the evidences which was pitiful and shameful nonetheless to say.Avery was a psychopath in the making since his childhood. None of us with cautions should never discount the factual evidences. He was the last person saw the victim besides her car and burn bone fractures were scattered around the junk yard. I did have one issue was while DA tried to link his nephew to the crime, it appeared to be lacking of physical evidences so it would only be fair to release him instead.The lawyers who took the case based on only one strategy which was proving police planted one of the evidences and subsequently requesting the judge to throw out all the evidences in order to secure Avery's innocence which failed miserably. I would say anybody with sound mind would not even partake. It's intriguing despite of a lot of ridicule in the program. However, it did little convincing.
