Very intriguing and well done documentary. Never heard about this before watching it. Crazy story
Great story about an incident most people don’t really know about, deep dive into how obsession can harm people
A valiant attempt to make this complicated case discernible. Ripe for theories. IMO, this gives Marjorie too much credit - she’s just crazy.
Really good documentary, but a very tragic one.
Manipulative, clever and horrifying. Still seems as though we don't know the full story
A quick, wild ride. The kind of thing true crime aficionados live for.
Sickening true crime series. I knew very little about the real life event but wow, it's so much worse than the news stations reported.
Great documentary that will legitimately leave you shocked that people like this live amongst us.
This event and series is shocking. I’ve watched multiple times and been just as horrified as before. Definitely worth a watch.
This is one of the most interesting true crime docs I’ve ever seen.

Beneath the sunlit glamour of 1985 L.A. lurks a relentlessly evil serial killer. In this true-crime story, two detectives won't rest until they catch him.
Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, presents a gripping courtroom thriller, offering a rare and revealing inside look at a high-profile murder trial. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was arraigned for the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was discovered lying in a pool of blood on the stairway of their home. Granted unusual access to Peterson's lawyers, home and immediate family, de Lestrade's cameras capture the defense team as it considers its strategic options. The series is an engrossing look at contemporary American justice that features more twists than a legal bestseller.
