preconceived guilt, turning innocent people into violent people, lack of empathy, corruption, greed, etc...

and other ways I think this show is headed

basically everyone involved with the case will know he is innocent but the last scene is him being convicted for life


Gotcha. I respectfully disagree. You may end up being right, but I think right now that is presuming a lot.

I think he's a sleeper cell.

But he fricked up and blew his cover.

They'd be really brave to tell the truth about the justice system:

DA's and such cut corners constantly, juries don't come anywhere close to upholding burdens of proof, and nonetheless almost all the people who get screwed by the system's deficiencies, are, in fact, guilty.

Our criminal justice system is . . . criminal. Seriously.

Really don't where you're going with this. As far as
"juries don't come anywhere close to upholding burdens of proof", it was my experience that juries tend to require less than "reasonable doubt" to acquit...it's human nature. Everyone thinks they know how they'll react if on a jury involving a 1st or 2nd degree murder charge, but you don't. When it's all said and done, jurors are more apt to acquit than convict...they don't want to handle the possibility that the person was innocent.

As far as the show's portrait of the "behind the scenes" operation of a DA's office, it's not that far off from the truth.

I thought this show was going to be less oz and more making murderer... Disappointing, we've seen plent of prison shows. They need to shift to the trial now since series is halfway over. I want to see stone in action

It's like you are hoping for some mystical cult group to be behind this crime.


So you haven't actually read most people's critiques. You just see someone point out a negative and are acting like they're screaming for an entire new show. Even most people who are criticizing it are still saying they like the show

Most of the complaints stem from the show wasting time, in a mini series, on repetitive metaphorical stuff aka the eczema, the cat, the viagra.

Andrea was 22 years old and was stabbed 22 times.

The number 2 is significant enough to appear 4 times — 4 symbolises death in East Asia. Perhaps it's not a coincidence that the character for 2 in Chinese is ?.

22/2 is 11 which resembles ? when turned sideways.
Stone scratches his eczema with a chopstick, which is an East Asian utensil and guess what? They come in pairs and look like that: ||

11 = ?, and equals sign = chopsticks.

Stone stabbed Andrea to death with a chopstick and it's been in front of us the whole time.

That's why he is in possession of only one chopstick — he got rid of the murder weapon.

So the trail starts and they just get around to his FB and researching how the victim lived in a 22 mil condo?

More sleuthing and less foot scenes would be better.

Why weren't they following these leads two, three episodes ago???? Just now looking at the owner of the house she was killed in? The trial has fricking started, Jesus Christ.
