Making a Murderer / The Jinx

[OfficialFarsideMoon]

I thoroughly enjoyed The Jinx, and am absolutely hooked on making a Murderer (after only two episodes).

We (UK tv) seemed to lead the world in complex, investigative documentaries in the past, now we're reduced to advertorials for John Lewis, or the latest spy on the wall series revolving around bailiffs or benefit 'scroungers'. Although I suspect this is more of a function of the changing landscape in who can pay to commission television now.

On Episode 7 of Making a Murderer. Depressing, frustrating and compelling viewing.

I will try The Jinx.
Is it about Mr Jinks, who hates those meeces to pieces?

I watched up to e7 last night, this is just unbelievable stuff. I'm trying to avoid any spoilers but have a feeling I know what's gonna happen.... :(

The Jinx is a similar production, even if you know the outcome (and it's hard not to because of the publicity around the case), the ending is absolutely staggering.

Have to say I had not heard of these. A quick Google tells me they are Netflix-related, which I don't access atm.

Yes, Netflix or 'alternative methods' only unfortunately.

I finished Making a Murderer at the weekend, utterly, utterly compelling and thoroughly depressing.
