    This just popped up on Netflix the other day. It was originally a 10 part doc about a man convicted of killing his wife in 2001. They just recently updated it with 3 more episodes. I never saw it when it first came out so it was new to me.

    Probably the most riveting doc that I’ve ever seen. The accused was wealthy and had a film crew on hand just weeks after the death to do ent everything. The access that was given to the French film crew is unbelievable. They were in strategy sessions for both prosecution and defense. As well as the courtroom and jail.

    So so as opposed to many true crime docs that involve recreations or interviews years later, this captures the events while they were happening.

    9/10.

    The last three add on episodes were kind of slow. Some interesting moments but could have been done in one hour or maybe 90 minutes.

    But the first 10 are incredibly compelling.

    It’s neck and neck imo. Although maybe that’s due to recency bias.
    But it’s great. I was hooked very quickly in the first episode and it really doesn’t have any lulls until the final 3.

    I added this a few weeks back. Haven't touched it yet.

    Got too many one-offs I have to get out of the way first.

    Yeah, I'm not inclined to see a ten+ part do entary unless Ken Burns did it. Anything more than four really has to be extraordinary.

    That's a pretty limited view...."unless Ken Burns". But to each his own.

    There are exceptions, but 13 hours on a single murder won't be one of them. To each his own.

    There might be some kids on your lawn; you might need to yell at them.

    I watched the series that is akin to it (except I think there may have been extra episodes added onto Making A Murder since I watched it IIRC). It was excellent. This thread is the first I've heard of The Staircase, so I haven't seen it yet. I would say there's a good chance I'll watch it at some point.

    I didn't know I was supposed to be selling you. You would not like it; not the type of thing at all for someone on a blue pill regimen.

    Yeah, I wasn't sure about it but once I watched the first episode, I ended up binging it.

    I concur with 9/10. Very well produced

    Too bad this thread is about the one you haven't watched, obviously.

    Is the one you watched political? Explain your talking about pills like an idiot.

    You're the one that regarded a statement in which I told you I watched one, calling it an endorsement. Why would I sell you on one I haven't watched? You should try to think about logically next time.

    Triggered AF.

    Of course it's political; if you weren't ignorant you'd know that. But moving past politics, it's not for someone bluepilled cos it shatters your ideal that the system is infallible and that people in high positions don't regularly abuse it or collude.

    I never said any system was infallible. Quite the opposite for the criminal justice system tbh.

    You're quite stupid.

    lol "pills"
