Loved Serial but I was pretty underwhelmed by the documentary. I love documentaries and this case is extremely intriguing but just from a film making perspective, I dont think they did a very good job with it.
The private investigators were horrible. Their dead grass research was so unbelievably stupid. Was a viewer supposed to react to a 80 year old womans memory of how the grass was in a field across the street from her 20 years ago? It was completely pointless and I would love to have seen that brought up in court
HBO didnt bring anything to the table and they were reaching bad when they tried.
The way they presented the dates was really annoying to me. They showed a date on half a screen, then fast forwarded in 4x speed to another date and gave you no time to process what the difference in dates meant bc they never showed them in calendar format only in a one angle horizontal frame. Completely useless.

quote:I don't think it's HBO's job to bring anything new to the case. If anything, this mini-series points out the fact that a lot of the people involved in this situation were looking out for themselves and didn't expect people to come after them with questions 20 years later

I also found the grass expert a bit ridiculous. But I do think the timing of HML's car being there is off. Also, the fact that zero dna evidence was ever found in the trunk is weird.
