These opinions are entirely my own and do not represent any other person or organization.
I watched it, such a crazy story, it doesn't seem real, feels like a plot right out of a movie.

Interesting... but lets just take it with a grain of salt. Seems to be very one sided.
Now the prosecutor is getting death threats over this.

One sided as told by the producers? Maybe but I believe the whole case was one sided. The prosecution as well as the victims family had a chance to be more involved and have their say in the documentary but declined to do so. Even so, the whole trail was a debacle and a complete embarrassment to the police officials involved. The judge was biased and to be completely honest, Avery had no chance from the beginning. It didn't matter what was introduced, how the prosecution was discredited, the complete lack of physical and incriminating evidence. No one believed this guy or wanted to see him walk in case he really was guilty and someone else may have gotten hurt as a result of not putting the monster he was portrayed as behind bars. The whole thing was really disgusting and made me worry for humanity. It was one of the most intriguing and addictive series I have ever watched!
I get that the story is interesting, but the lack of justice in the us judicial system isn't new. The whole time watching this, all I could think was "there are a lot of people in jail right now who could use a 10 part documentary than this guy"
You can't have the incarceration rate that America has without a significant number of people behind bars who don't belong there, welcome to the downside of "tough on crime"

Seriously, good documentary. I still dunno if buddy did it or not. If I was in the jury, there was definitely reasonable doubt that he didn't do it. This isn't just from evidence in the show, I cruised through some of the available case files as well.

One of the Jurors that was excused mentioned that 3 or so of the Jurors went into the trial thinking they were guilty and wouldn't change their minds or have an open mind apparently.
I have only just started watching, but I've heard there is a bunch of info they left out of the documentary that changes things - is this true? If so that makes it kind of pointless.
Man watching this thing made my blood boil by the 4th episode in...
And I understand it was me and my vantage point versus those of them IN the actual case...
But man oh man, how could they (the prosecution) NOT see the injustices...just mind blowing haha...
...@therealarifjina...
What gets me was when they were questioning the DNA analyst.
Well... the samples were contaminated so results weren't accurate, but we used our common sense.
Great show - easy to get into if you listened to the whole Serial podcast.
This seemed a bit more cut and dry that it was police interfering with the case - Serial leaves you with more of an feeling
On episode 3 only but I'm losing my shit over here.
Also, note possible spoilers:

I'm sure the jail system is profitable right? Everything is for profit in America.

Nah, can't say much more without spoilers, but the stuff the documentary left out doesn't really change much, compared to the stuff that was inadmissible in court.Originally posted by Mitsu3000gt

Stuff was left out, but they didn't change what was shown. The amount of secrecy, perjury and incompetence in this case is astounding.
Awesome documentary.
I can eat more hot wings than you.
Admittedly I haven't watched it, but an article I read suggested they left out some graphic details of events that paint a less than rosy view of him. Something along the lines of him beating a cat, dousing it in fuel and then throwing it into a campfire while it was still alive.
