Has anyone watched this on Netflix?

It's a 10 part true crime documentary. Needless to say since it's release it's caused quite a stir.

If all is as portrayed in that the major WTF.
Am barely half way through and am really wondering how half of this has managed to take place and heads haven't rolled yet?!

This is a bit of a worrying eye opener here as well...
Could be happening over here and little chance we'd find out in the end...

The mind boggles. It is however really interesting to see those involved in stitching him up on the rape charge first time round, squirming and bricking it through interviews! BarStools.. the lott'a'em.

seen some media interest in this
but apparently the prosecutors are saying Netflix has left a lot of evidence out of the show

On episode 5, been reading articles in between the episodes to like this one - clicky. Unsure if he did it or not, I'm kind of sitting on the fence. What's everyone else's opinions... Did he kill Teresa Halbach?

Oooo, sounds like time for some serious Netflix and chilling - without the chilling Laughing

Given that he was convicted using the same sort of DNA evidence that eventually exonerated him in the first case, I'd say there's not really much parallel between the cases.

These sorts of true crime shows fascinate me, so I will definitely be adding this to my list of things to watch. I'm currently listening to the first series of Serial which is somewhat unnerving. Well worth a listen if you haven't already Thumbs Up

Exactly, all they gotta do is spray some luminol and they could have a fucking rave in there it'd glow that much.

I'm struggling to get to the end of episode 1.
We both fell asleep halfway through.

Does it get more exciting?

I have to presume so, seeing what you're discussing in future episodes.

Fell asleep during episode 2 as well Laughing

But yeah, things are looking up, aren't they.
What an odd case.

Am at the end of episode 3 now.
Managed to stay awake once I got the gist of what was going on again.

I've seen 8 episodes now. I don't understand the lack of blood - surely if he killed her anywhere on her property, there'd be wholesale traces of blood all over the scene?

I'm interested to hear what the "missed out" parts are, I'm not sure whether to look now or after episode 10. He almost seems likable, rather unassuming and dopey. Obviously that's what the makers aimed for, though.

At the end of episode 8 during the trial summaries,
in response to his defense stating their story line was impossible as there was no trace of the victims blood anywhere on the Premises aside traces on a 22 bullet in the garage, Kratz then changes his story at the last minute saying that she was shot and killed outside the premises and was not killed in his trailer/garage (which he had banged on about trough the whole trial).
The absolutely outrageous, ridiculous aspect I cannot even begin to get my head around is:

*Spoiler alert*
All 3 counts from Brendons *confession* are struck from Stevens trail, Kratz abandons the "murdered in the trailer" theory and in essence Steven is tried and convicted of murdering her and yet Brendon is still convicted and jailed for a *confession* of participating in a murder that someone has already been tried and convicted for which never could have happened in the way the confession suggested?!

I'm on episode 8 and am sure there is more about this very topic in he next one but right now I feel much rage... Heads should roll!!!

Am I the only one to think it out of order for the reporter to continue to interview him about when the girl was on his property? (somewhere in the middle of episode 3, I think, when the girl was first discovered to be missing and that he was the last person to see her)

As soon as he said something along the lines of "the police then asked me if they could come in and have a look around my house", should that not have been the point when the interview was shut down?

Would it not interfere with police procedure?

(if indeed such a thing were even relevant; in this instance, police procedure mainly seemed to involve putting keys, cars and a burnt body into ridiculously obvious places Rolling Eyes

)
