Pool Q Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'll check this out. Some of these just leave you open-mouthed in astonishment, the case of Robert Jones in New Orleans (thankfully now out of jail after 20+ years) was reported last autumn, I just couldn't believe what I was reading.

tartanpar Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have watched it. Was brilliant viewing. After you finish watching it do an Internet search and you will see certain things were left out which might change your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I need to watch it to continue the convo, as i know nothing more, expended all my knowledge in two posts. Is that on this thread or your time on the board in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacWalka Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've read the prosecution and their take on this, say 80% of the evidence has been cut for drama. It's a ten part dramatization on netflix, I'd not be arguing the merits of the case off the back of it. It's not a dramatization to be fair, it is a documentary albeit from mostly one perspective. I heard the prosecution say that too and given that the whole trial was recorded, I imagine if someone was so willing they could do a critical review of the documentary versus the actual trial. The one thing I took from it above everything else is how hard it must be to get a fair trial in America with the way the media are all over high profile cases. I know the media here can be out of order at times but the clips of the media before and during that trial in the documentary were appalling.

Sounds interesting will give it a look, don't need to convince me about the justice system in America (or anywhere) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrie21 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Started this today when the Mrs was out with the kids visiting her mum. Got 3 episodes watched and I'm hooked. Once the kids go to bed (shortly) more will be viewed tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flumax Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 After seeing this thread, I'm 3 in. Miserable. It's very much like serial in Tone. I'll keep it up, but enough for tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep it up, but enough for tonight Between Christmas Eve and going back to work this week I managed to watch making a Murderer, Narcos, Beasts of no Nation and the new series of Luther. I'm amazed I didn't hang myself from the cheery viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flumax Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just completed. Gripping stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Watched up to episode 8 last night. I think 5-8 probably weren't quite as gripping as the first 4 but still compelling nonetheless. Will be interesting to see where the last 2 episodes lead. One thing for sure is if I ever find myself up on a murder rap (only a matter of time really!) I want Strang and Buting on my team!!

Scunnered Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Watched the first episode last night and I haven't found it as gripping as everyone else... Probably due to living with North Ayrshire Council and seeing such corruption regularly . Interesting enough to see it through though.

sbcmfc Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/news/35258439 An interview with the two girls who made it Is their spoilers in it? Finished 4 episodes, massive bombshell right at the end made it very hard to call it a night after that one! Really interested in where it's going to lead and want to find out more, but scared I find out the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably due to living with North Ayrshire Council and seeing such corruption regularly . Interesting enough to see it through though. If it hadn't been talked up, I probably would have chucked it after 30 minutes. I think the 1st episode is just setting the scene and introducing some of the "characters". Episodes 2,3 and 4 get much more interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 What is Netflix and how do normal people get access to it? It's a streaming service for film and TV, you need a subscription to it, or a log on from someone who does. Loads of platforms to access it from, I use my PS3, can watch it on computers, smart TVs, tablets, phones (I think), also available on BT boxes, presume you can have it as an add on on sky and Virgin too? Not sure if that helps you any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
