@antipodean Have just watched "Making a Murderer" this week. I just found your post and I have not read any other posts on this series.
Fantastic doco. The thesis of the filmmakers is quite chilling with the strong overtones of police and prosecutorial misconduct: evidence planting / police revenge / harassment and, especially, the coerced confession of Brendan Dassey (possibly as opposed to establishing the truth). They are doing a second series soon focussing more on Dassey.
Overall I feel massively for Dassey and to a lesser extent for Avery (I'm on the fence with his guilt). There seems to be a significant element of circling the wagons from Manitowoc County law enforcement. Procedurally the police actions appeared abhorrent.
That being said, I need to do some other reading on it because it is undoubtedly biased towards Steven Avery's side of the story.
The other issue hanging over it for me (especially given my US political "awakening" in the last 12 months) is the probability of latent political bias. The filmmakers are two New York women (they met at Columbia film school) taking an angle on a rural Midwestern police force and district attorney's office. So you have this almost certain liberal / libertarian / anti-authoritarian slant on the rural / redneck male authority figure. You couldn't get more Clinton vs. Trump.

@Tregaskis I watched a doco on Discovery or Nat GEo a while back which pulled apart the series, and while I agree there was a lot of shit that doesn't add up, it was certainly made to give the conspiracy angle.
Didn't clear a lot up, but presented some facts that the TV show didn't.

Not a series, but did anybody see the doco on Rio Ferdinand the other night? I'm not a football fan and didn't really know anything about him apart from him being talented, rich and famous. This doco was about how he's trying to cope with his wife dying and leaving him with 3 little kids who are all struggling to cope themselves. Heartbreaking.

Binge watched the entire season of Big Little Lies. Really great cast - Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Alexander Skarsgard, Adam Scott among others. Kind of like a Desperate Housewives meets Twin Peaks, complete with murder mystery and a small, rich town with a shitload of secrets and veneers hiding all sorts of shenanigans.
Bonus - a surprising amount of nudity including tits/sex/self love from Nicole K who really is in great shape.

Nicole Kidman and her fellow bony pale countrywoman Cate Blanchett are the kind of chicks that other women think are 'just BEAUTIFUL'......but that blokes would struggle to fuck on a footy trip.
Apart from @mariner4life evidently.....

You may want to rethink that, typically no one is whiter than a range.
Shall we do a poll , which to you find more appealing ? Christina Hendricks or supporting Scotlands rugby team?
