Not many a post in either a thread.

That being said, I tried to watch Making a Murderer, but it felt to forced, as far as the documentarian trying to set their opinion. I might try and go back to it some day and give it a chance, but it will never be The Thin Blue Line.

The Thin Blue Line ????? - movie, documenrary??

I read where Dassey won his appeal about 2 months ago but the state blocked his release. Great watch so far. Through episode 5- hard to think Steve pulled something like that off.

Yes, if you haven't seen it, I would recommend it.

Just noticed the second "season" just released yesterday. My wife and I watched the first a couple years ago and plan to watch this one. I know the first part was obviously slanted to make you think he's innocent, but external information from other sites show the other side. I've read reviews from those sharing a similar viewpoint who have started watching part two and are back to thinking innocent.

Anyone else planning on watching?

I will watch it eventually. The first season was obscenely slanted, but it was entertaining.

It is way down on the priority list, though. It may take a year or so for me to get to it.

Just finished it, is it just me or is this just a Michael Moore type show. There is zero chance a jury could unanimously find someone guilty of murder from what they have shown on the two seasons. Something huge has to be left out to make her family and friends so completely certain he and Brandon did it. Even members of the victim can’t have such hatred for two people, because a lawyer as terrible as they portray him, tells them some story that according to the show doesn’t add up.

I haven’t seen S2, but S1 never mentioned that he was stalking the chick for months before she showed up his place. The show made it seem like they had zero connection to each other. He was also a felon and should not have had a gun. The show mentioned that he was a felon, but never put it together that he should not have had the rifle.

There were other missing facts in S1, but it has been a long time. I don’t remember all the points they left out.

Like I said earlier. Fun show, but WAY tilted.

Haven’t finished season 2, don’t know if I will either. I’ve fallen asleep 4 times midway through the first 4 episodes. It is incredibly slow and boring.

Really enjoyed season 1 but this season has felt brutal to try and finish.

I finished finally season two on fast forward this past weekend after watching the first couple of episodes when it was released.

I would recommend passing on this season. It's basically a bloated retelling of the first season mixed with a celebrity attorney who continually throws wild theories & accusations out there without anyone to challenge her. Dassey's case gets second billing with small coverage. The unnecessary extended coverage of the Avery family & Steven Avery's phone conversations along with the retelling the much of what was covered in the first season, caused the series to be twice as long as it should be.

To sum it up:

Other than Zellner's unchallenged wild theories & "evidence", you don't learn anything new that hasn't been in the news. And concerning Avery's case, you are left without finality.

Another "documentary" of similar quality on Netflix is American Vandal. Give that a try. :heh:

Vandal doesn’t pretend to be a legit documentary, though. It is clearly a spoof.

Making tries to pass itself off as legit. While S1 was entertaining, it was kinda infuriating how horribly slanted the story telling was. I am not certain I will ever waste my time with S2.

I think you missed my point. MaM is so biased it might as well be fiction.

*also, I agree. I won't even bother with S2.

I think I was agreeing with you, just pointing out that MaM tries to make you think it is legit, which makes it a farce while Vandal embraces the spoof, which makes it MORE legit than MaM.

Anyone else watched these? Just might be the most unbelievable thing I have ever watched.

I have so many questions!!

The Derski · May 15, 2019

So you’ve been under a rock for the past few years?

The Derski · May 15, 2019

Obviously a slanted docuseries but I still feel bad for the parents. Every time there’s a scene with the Avery parents I just feel so bad for them.

Sorry I searched for this and didn't find it.
