Netflix Documentary Series
Availability: Global
2 seasons, season 3 pending
Plot:

Season 2 picks up post-conviction.
Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
- Despite
how you feel about Avery, justice has been obstructed. That's what
provides the drama in this series. Some people are going to think, like
the cops, that Avery should be locked up and the ends justify the
means. Despite how guilty Avery may or may not be, he deserves a fair
trial.
This show outrages and stuns in equal measure. We see cops contradicting themselves in depositions and strong indications of tampered evidence. I wasn't sure where this season was going to go after episode one. I felt they had told us the story, but the story this season tells is what happens after he gets out.
