This is no "making a murderer".
Starts slow, becomes intriguing, but by the final episode you'll be saying "huh?" "what?" " wait..". Because the storytelling is so convoluted.
By the end you'll be slightly confused and wondering why the story wasn't just told in a straightforward manner, as opposed to "drama" and "suspense" being artificially and unnecessarily imposed by withholding so much key information until the end.
So many times Necessary Information is doled out long after it is required. You'll be asking obvious question as it goes along that won't be answered.
Re: the skull fracture: "we have technology now that we didn't have then"...huh? You mean like...eyes? Was this just an interrogation technique? Oh no photos from '85? That's interesting ...so Where was the info about the '85 pathologist who presumably was incompetent or corrupt and botched the whole case? There's none!
The wrap up texts at the end felt tacked on and raised so many more questions. (24M lawsuit, the story of the final confession, the crime that he plead out to, the other girls, all were glossed over. The final 10 min could have been properly told in a whole other episode.
All in all a good true crime story very poorly told...the final outcomes were interesting and complex but it all wrapped up far too quickly in a way that makes you think they pretty much botched the whole story from the start.
