Netflix’s Making a Murderer is an investigative journalism gold.
It’s only almost spoiler-free because the story made headlines and history.
Netflix will be premiering a new documentary series tomorrow calledMaking a Murderer.
Im going to use a word Ive never used in a review before, bold.
The series, directed by Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, spans over 30 years.
The jurys still out.
The Avery family was town outcasts.
A couple steps further removed from the community than the Glostners on the TV seriesThe Middle.
The family was tight-knit and lived outside the town.
They ran a scrap metal business.
The kids grew up playing in the rows between the cars that they were scrapping.
Their backyard barbecues rocked under the music of abandoned car radios.
The town people didnt like them, looked down their noses on them.
They even denigrated auto salvaging as a vocation.

Avery wasnt a saint.
Avery spent 10 months in prison.
The cat burned to death.
It comes out that Avery was the victim of repercussions and past grievances he probably wasnt even aware existed.
The series shows that the entire investigation was a targeted attack.
Its fun to watch then squirm as the lawyer turn their words around.
They all have bad memories, when it suits them.
She was never seen again.
On November 11, 2005, Avery was charged with her murder.
Avery said he was being railroaded again.
It certainly looks like it.
That was before they found anything to charge him.
This is damning stuff.
And it keeps getting worse.
These officers want to get Avery for something, anything.
