Making A Murderer

[Iceman]

It's a Netflix documentary series about Stephen Avery. Just finished episode 2 of this. It's such a complex and addictive story. Anyone else watching or has seen it??

[Smithy]

Literally just seen michelle visage tweeting about this, might give it a watch :think:

[Amy Jade]

I've contemplated it but I'm a little put off - an entire series about one guy killing one person seems a bit lengthy to me idk

I thought the same but seriously if I wasn't up for work in the morning id watch the whole thing.

I highly recommend it. I'm hooked after 2 episodes.

[andybigbro]

I love crime documentaries.

I'll have a look tomorrow :D

[Babayaro.]

Just watched episode 4 and omg I am hooked. Honestly, one of the best and most shocking things i've watched

[Babayaro.]

You should watch it, trust me. Also, that's not what it's about at all (Well it is kind of, but there's so much more to it)

[Iceman]

I finished this 2 days ago. My god what an emotional documentary

[Smithy]

Watched the first two eps last night, can't wait to finish work and watch more :amazed:

[Smithy]

Ep 4's ending :omgno:

[Iceman]

It's great though isn't it. I mean documentary wise.

[Josy]

I watched this nonstop, had to keep watching the next episode to see what was happening then before I know it I had finished it.

Really interesting and emotional documentary.

[andybigbro]

I loved this series. It really angered me though.

So so so corrupt.

[Iceman]

Series 2 is being planned at the moment.

[Smithy]

I stopped watching after episode 8 (it'd been spoiled for me :bored:) and I didn't care too much about Brendan's trial/the aftermath, can't believe there isn't going to be a retrial (yet anyway)

Perched for S2 in 2026!

[Ashsleigh]

Not sure about this to be honest.

[Marsh.]

Series 2 is being planned at the moment.

Who else has died? :omgno:

[Marsh.]

I stopped watching after episode 8 (it'd been spoiled for me :bored:)

The writers lost the plot about halfway through.

[andybigbro]

Not sure about this to be honest.

What do you mean?

[Marsh.]

Andy's not sure about Ashley not being sure about the jury not being sure about Steven Avery

[Braden]

I watched the first episode last night but wasn't that interested tbh.

I'll definitely keep with it because of the reputation it has, there's a good chance of it getting more exciting. But idk if it's my cup of tea.

[Babayaro.]

"Brendan did you do 9/11?"

Brendan - "Umm...yeah"

[ChristmasNeeve]

"Brendan did you do 9/11?"

Brendan - "Umm...yeah"

I know right?

Finished this last night, crazy, crazy, crazy, I have no other words

[ChristmasNeeve]

wooo read this Theory on what happened, it makes a lot of sense :o

[Samm]

Finished this, I'm honestly to confused if he did it or not like the evidence is there but at the same time I don't know :worry:

[Shaun]

Just watched the first episode... I'm reading a similar novel at the moment as well (Gillian Flynn's Dark Places), fiction obviously but to do with the premise of wrongful imprisonment albeit from the perspective of the victim/accused rather than a legal/judiciary one... so it's a strange coincidence. But yes everyone seems to be talking about it and when Ammi tells you to watch something you watch it.

It's quite well made. I'm not too well versed on documentaries but it reminded me a little bit of 'Dear Zachary' in its sheer detail / number of video testimonies. Shall have to watch more when I can.

[Drew.]

2 episodes in and its so gripping & haunting.. a complete head**** as well.

[Babayaro.]

Walt dies

[GiRTh]

I've heard this was good,. I will take a look

[lily.]

I was hooked on this. Watched the whole thing over a few days. Drew & I have been discussing our theories now that he has finished it.

[Shaun]

Finished it yesterday, and I'm not sure I enjoyed watching it. It was gripping, for sure, but I couldn't help shake the feeling that I shouldn't be watching it? I just felt uncomfortable with the idea of it being something I binge-watch like Daredevil or Orange is the New Black or RuPaul's Drag Race :laugh: There's something quite worrying to me with murder trials being presented as something to watch... and the families depicted are quite unsettling (the whole close-knit community feeling, tied with their pretty poor intellect, made it feel a little exploitative?) And for the purpose of clarity/fair representation, I'd have liked the victim to be a little more to the viewer than just some bones in a fire pit. But then I assume her family didn't want to be filmed.

Couldn't help but get emotionally invested in the story though and would agree that Brendan's case should've been thrown out of court. Kachinsky, Wiegert, Fassbender & O'Kelly are vermin.

[Smithy]

Netflix has announced that they're making more episodes of this, with the new lawyer etc

[Smithy]

Omg halfway through S2 and I am snatched at Kathleen, she is coming for BLOOD :omgno:

[ChristmasNeeve]

oh S2 is out? I need to watch

[Babayaro.]

Watched the first two eps so far. Decent start :clap1:

[Ammi]

..I’m not sure how I’ll be able to watch this..I don’t have Netflix..:sad:..

[Alf]

..I’m not sure how I’ll be able to watch this..I don’t have Netflix..:sad:..eOifa1WrOnQ

[Alf]

I'm gonna binge watch it all quickly and come back on here and spoil it for you all.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I'm gonna binge watch it all quickly and come back on here and spoil it for you all.

Not sure it's actually something that can be spoiled Alf, I mean he's still in prison :p

[Alf]

Not sure it's actually something that can be spoiled Alf, I mean he's still in prison :pThanks for spoiling it for me.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Thanks for spoiling it for me.

You're welcome :douf:

[GiRTh]

Dont like the new attorney. Cant believe Steven criticised Strang. :nono:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

The TL is upstairs watching this now

:rolleyes:

load of bolloxio

[Smithy]

Dont like the new attorney. Cant believe Steven criticised Strang. :nono:

She is excellent :nono:

[GiRTh]

She is excellent :nono:I understand she wants to hold everyone accountable but I she comes across as insincere, for me, more about the victory than Steven and Brendan.

[Alf]

Right, I'm gonna start watching this now before everybody starts telling me what happens. I'll get 3 episodes in before BB starts.

[Smithy]

I understand she wants to hold everyone accountable but I she comes across as insincere, for me, more about the victory than Steven and Brendan.

Oh definitely, she wants to be the person that gets “Steven Avery” out of jail, but regardless imo, she’s an amazing lawyer the stuff that she’s picked up on already

[GiRTh]

Oh definitely, she wants to be the person that gets “Steven Avery” out of jail, but regardless imo, she’s an amazing lawyer the stuff that she’s picked up on alreadyAgree, she is definitely making sure every mistake is highlighted so an incredible lawyer. Only watched the first three so far :hee:

[Smithy]

I can’t get over how much Kathleen looks like Michael Jackson :skull:

When she had the big hat on in the snow I was like “she’s doing this on purpose”

[Babayaro.]

I've lost interest already :(

[Smithy]

Where did you get up to?

[Babayaro.]

Where did you get up to?

Episode 3

[GiRTh]

Thats where I am.

[Alf]

Finished

Pure corruption, he didn't do it.

[Alf]

It was
Brendan's brother Bobby and his Stepdad.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Finished

Pure corruption, he didn't do it.

He's as guilty as sin, the documentary is really biased, there's a lot of other information they left out, if you look around online

[GiRTh]

It was
Brendan's brother Bobby and his Stepdad.Agreed. Are these the two who happened to see each other while doing separate things on the night of the murder and thus were in position to vouch for each other? Its so lucky and convenient for that to have happened.

[Alf]

Agreed. Are these the two who happened to see each other while doing separate things on the night of the murder and thus were in position to vouch for each other? Its so lucky and convenient for that to have happened.Yes! I don't know how far you're upto? but either episode 8 or 9 Kathleen points the finger towards them and she sold it to me.

[Jordan.]

I think Brendan at least is without doubt innocent, that "confession" was a joke.

[Babayaro.]

Will sink my teeth into some more tonight :)

[Smithy]

He's as guilty as sin, the documentary is really biased, there's a lot of other information they left out, if you look around online

Have you watched S2 yet? They pretty much debunk all the “evidence” used by the prosecution with scientific testing

[Alf]

I'm gonna go back and watch series 1, it's been a long while since I watched that and it could be interesting knowing what we know now from Zellner.

[Smithy]

OMG the last Ep, an utter MESS

Honestly don’t understand how the prosecution can get away with lying and hiding evidence and the defence not be granted a new trial

She tweets a bit like Donald trump, it’s kinda messy
