EDIT: actually called, "The Innocent Man"
6 part doc about two murder/rapes that took place in Ada, Oklahoma in the 80's. Based on a non-fiction book by John Grisham.
I was pretty excited to check this out as I like true crime docs and Netflix usually does a good job on docs in general.
But this got boring pretty quickly. Coerced confessions, police corruption..etc. Nothing new here and nothing that couldn't have been done
in 4 episodes or even a 2 hour feature. Toward the end it becomes fairly preachy and it was obvious that it might have been made with the full intent of putting pressure
on the system that still has 2 seemingly innocent men in jail.
5/10
