Netflix holds plenty of intriguing shows, but this past month it’s introduced a new documentary. The ten-hour series, “Making a Murderer,” has been taking the country and its viewers by storm. As one of the most watched shows on Netflix, reviewers are highly recommending it and it’s the first thing anyone should check out the next time they browse the selections.

It begins with a man named Steven Avery who was sentenced to eighteen years in prison for an assault. Later on he is found innocent by a blood test. Years later after release, he is charged with a mysterious murder. The ten-hour series goes through every detail of the trials and court hearings involved with the murder case.

Before the DNA test, Manitowoc police department and sheriff department displayed instances of ignoring anyone else who could possibly be a suspect other than Avery, as if they were trying to prove him guilty at all costs.

“Murderer” was casted across Avery’s image. The body of a woman was found on his property including items linked to the murder. But suspicions have risen. From here on out, the show includes exclusive interviews of people linked or involved with the victim, examining evidence, and the possible flaws in our judicial system.

This show is unlike any crime documentary or program I’ve seen. It was filmed over a ten-year period, through the

Story of Avery and his sentence behind bars after being, possibly, accused wrongly of a murder.

It’s not just the show’s contents and points it makes, but how it is filmed that really pulled me in at first. Every episode keeps the viewer enthralled, which is what I like most about it. Constant twists and turns, new evidence and discoveries surfacing in each episode. It makes the viewer want to keep watching to see if nonnegotiable discoveries have been uncovered to, possibly, get Avery out of jail.

The viewer gets to really know the Avery’s, their stories and relationships between one another, and if had anything to do with this possible framing of Avery. Exclusive interviews are revealed and concluded by the directors. They don’t leave out much of anything when it comes to giving hard evidence from suspects and people associated with the victim and Avery.

The tiniest of details are shown, examined up close and really thought through to give possible clues as to claim if this man was framed or not.

Interviews, opinions, and thoughts are shared from the police, judicial system, family members, witnesses, acquaintances, and people who worked on this cas. The evidence all goes very in-depth, getting closer to finding out what really happened with this murder

“Making a Murderer” is also getting great reviews. Rotten Tomatoes named it a whopping 97% on its tomato-meter, which is extremely high for a documentary. IMDB rated it 9.1 out of 10 stars and Meta critic gave it an 84%.

Overall, it’s a haunting true-crime show that will leave you thinking over every detail and piece of evidence involving this case.
