I watch a lot of documentaries. Here is one that I saw this week that I highly recommend. It is free on Netflix.
The Making of a Murderer
I just finished this documentary so it is fresh in my thoughts. Without giving anything away I will just say that it is a 10 part Netflix documentary. It takes place in Wisconsin which is where I live and have lived my entire life. It features a crime that took place here in Wisconsin that I do not remember but that made national news, the murder of Theresa Halbach. I highly recommend it if you have a Netflix account. I thought I would watch it while I listed on ebay and etsy but I binge watched it through the night until 3 am and then finished it up before I got out of bed the next morning. It brought forth a lot of strong feelings that I wish I could talk about now but I think they would probably spoil the viewing.
If you have seen the documentary please let me know what you thought in the comments. If you haven't please comment anyway and let me know what documentaries you recommend!
OMG I just finished it today and like you, I could not stop watching it. I binged watched all 10 episodes and have been telling everyone in earshot of me that they HAVE TO WATCH THIS! Such a sad but fascinating story, I was so furious at what that family went through and it just proves the point that if you are lower income and not as educated that it is hard to fight the unfair fight and win.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It makes me so pessimistic about fighting "the system" in any capacity.
DeleteI love this type of documentary, thanks for the recommendation! Hmm, I really liked "Burt's Buzz" - "A Life in Dirty Movies" and "Love Hotels" on Netflix
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations! The documentary that I recommended has been getting a lot of coverage in the news lately. Watchers have been using social media to voice their views. If you haven't watched it it's a good time to see it.
DeleteHappy New Year Nancy! I've head about it through SL. I'd like to watch it, but I'm guessing it's not kid appropriate though. When we do watch..it's usually all of us sitting down to watch something. There's a documentary called That Sugar Film (on Amazon - free for Prime) that I'm planning on watching tonight with the whole family. Talks about sugar in our diet and how it affects us. Looking forward to that. Over the holidays we watched all of the "Mysteries at the Museum" docs on Netflix. Fascinating..and we all really enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret! Happy New Year to you too.
DeleteNo it's definitely not kid friendly. I watched that Sugar Film a couple of days ago. Very interesting and has me checking the labels to see how much sugar I'm consuming. I'm definitely going to check out Mysteries at the Museum. Haven't heard of it before. I love documentaries. Thanks for the recommendations.
