riot_guuy In many ways this series became what it captured - an exercise in both the tedium and personalities involved in a lengthy court case. The entertainment which was gripping at times, is balanced by many many scenes of the protagonist making dinner, smoking, standing on his soap-box, all things which could have been left out for a sharper watch. Much of the entertainment for me was some of the witnesses and their fruitiness; their levels of expertise stacking up against each other on opposite sides of the case; and the way Peterson, some of his family, and his legal team seem to skate through the whole process with a crazy amount of levity as if escaping conviction was a fait accompli so let's all joke about Peterson going to jail. I suppose some of their behaviour could have been curtailed at Peterson's insistence because they were on his coin, but it must have fed his self-belief (and as others have pointed out, his over-confidence) so he let it be. There's enjoyment to be had, but I found much of it is ironic enjoyment. Give yourself a couple of rainy days to wade through all shots of cooking and Peterson's tangential diatribes which his legal team were paid a pretty penny to listen to.

missj-24678 I began watching, vaguely remembering when it happened. I had no notion about guilt or innocence. Yet by the 4th or 5th episode, I was honestly wondering where Kathleen was in all this. But for her murder, her self absorbed egotistical husband wouldn't have this platform for a film. Then I read a review about the podcast by BBC1 called Beyond Reasonable Doubt. I believe that needs to be heard/followed in order to gain a balanced view of this whole case.

mes-54957 I just watched The Keepers after finishing this. Werner Spitz was consulted on it, too. He mentioned on The Keepers how he was used for the defense but his findings were not used because they were not helpful for the defense. As a native to the Raleigh/Durham area, this case has been covered heavily for years! I'd say no one believes him and he is a complete narcissist. I found his interviews odd and wondered why so many people stuck by him. I wish the still shots of him and the driving around with phone calls were edited out.

wwvvww-423-766900 This was one of the most biast programs I have ever watched. There's no way you can come to decision of guilty or innocent from watching this when it's made so much for the defence. The only thing it proves is that the American justice system is money driven, if you ain't got any your going down and nobody gives a toss.
