You’re missing my point. Netflix didn’t say, “hey, let’s put a bunch of money into a TV series about Steven Avery.” Two independent filmmakers created the project and then sold it to Netflix. Every person on this earth is free to develop a documentary film and then seek financing from distributors, production…

I don’t care what color you are “genius”, I never once said you were of any race, did i “genius”. I stated that it is more than a race issue, it’s a class issue “genius”. I have black people in my family, but congratulations on talking to some. You should be so proud genius.

Brendan Dassey played by Paul Dano

were you watching the same thing as the rest of us?

Why does it always have to come down to black and white? Truth is, it’s a class thing, not race in this case. Sorry you are profiled by your skin color, it shouldn’t be that way, but how often do you hear on the news about the poor or homeless white people being harassed by police? Never. Now it’s either because it…

You know the people involved in Serial—the alleged murder, the victim, and the key witness—are all POC, right? I don’t think that diminishes the idea that the whole “true crime genre” has a level of ickiness to it, and I certainly don’t think it’s evidence that white people and especially middle class white people…

That happens with every documentary. There is no such thing as an unbiased documentary. For that matter, there is no such thing as an unbiased piece of investigative journalism. It is impossible to thoroughly investigate something and not come to a conclusion about it, and for that conclusion not to affect how the…

I don’t think your view is unpopular. I think a lot of people are leaning this way, myself included. My impression is that most people are on the fence if Avery did it or not but everyone agrees that the investigation and trial were really messed up, both times he went to prison.

What is your source for the incest claim? I don’t recall hearing about that.

I don’t think it’s an unpopular opinion at all (or maybe I’m just saying that because I agree with it). While there’s been a lot of focus on whether or not Avery is guilty, I’m personally more interested in how shows like this can test our views on things like justice. It’s easy to cry miscarriage of justice when the…

Can the hottie reporter play himself?

I know!! I was outraged at how the detectives were conning him, but it was just heartbreaking to see him on that witness stand and look so confused and scared.

He was so obviously guessing at what they wanted him to say. They knew he wasn’t very bright and didn’t know what was going on. His mother doesn’t even know how to handle the fact that she cant get in touch with him or his lawyers...its all just fucking INSANE. That is the biggest story in this show. Steve Avery, I…

Omg. That (Brendan Dassey parts, especially his “ confession” and phone call to his mom) was the most heart wrenching thing I’ve ever seen :(

I’ve watched most of it now, and I’m not sure about Steven Avery...but holy fuck Brendan Dassey...what the fuck even was all that shit?
