Yes, I was on the edge of my seat during both of those.
But it still begs the question...did the cops kill Theresa or did they come upon her body and say let's frame Avery and let a murderer go???i'm sorry just not buying it...but the injustice that was done to his nephew was criminal...

Those men that questioned the kid should be ashamed of themselves, especially the guy that was working for his own attorney. Completely should be ashamed of themselves. To take advantage of a mentally dull kid like him and spoon feed him what they wanted him to say. I was sickened to my core and wanted to reach through the screen and just strangle that private investigator. You talk about karma being B, I hope that man gets his......

Absolutely...but does that make Steven Avery innocent? They are two separate issues...do you believe Theresa was randomly killed and the cops decided to pin it on Avery? Or they deliberately killed her to pin it on Avery??? It has to be one or the other...the rest is just background noise to distract you from the truth... If the documentary was about Brandon and how he was railroaded....agreed 110%....but Avery is benefiting from his nephew's injustice....
Does anyone have any experience using Rosetta Stone or Fluenz??? I'm thinking of trying to learn Spanish.
I wish I could afford Rosetta Stome. I wish I would have paid attention in Spanish class. Now, if someone claims "no habla ingles" I usually announce that the guy in the brown shoes is going to jail. That breaks the langue barrier.
Now, if the person is making a good attempt, google translate is used.
The best accidental gunshot scene was in Boondock Saints. Where Rocco hits the cat. It was so ridiculous. The next line was epic.
"Is he dead?"
I loved Boondock Saints!

Is this something for a therapist to hear?
I think it is entirely normal to find humor inappropriately in dark subject matter - it helps cut the morosity. Some of the best laughs I've experienced have been reading Stephen King novels. If it's therapy worthy, maybe we can ask for a two-for-one special.

We're on a thriller/horror film jag lately. Watched just about everything Netflix has on their streaming that was above a 2 star rating. I don't get into slasher flicks, I find them silly, but to each their own.
We binge watched Making of a Murderer a while back. It was very well done, gripping, shocking. As others have mentioned, I'm not 100% convinced Avery didn't do it, but there are definitely doubts based on the town's systemic ostracism of their entire family. Way complicated situation, and I too am glad the nephew is being released. He was so hosed in that situation, the players in his conviction should be tried and convicted themselves for miscarriage of justice at the very least.

Ditto for us, on the Avery one, but we haven't seen the 13 thing so I'm glad to hear about it as we were searching Netflix to add to the queue but had a hard time finding anything. 90% of what we saw was crap, the few good titles we saw we've already watched.
By the way, you might enjoy the new series Stranger Things. Matthew Modine and Winona Ryder play in this. It's not so much a slasher type thing, it has flavors of X-Files, Goonies, Close Encounters, and many others, all wrapped in a series based in the 80s. They actually refer to MKUltra throughout the series. We got sucked in and ended up finishing the whole series over two days.

We've already watched Stranger Things. Yeah, there were so many odes to previous works. When we started watching it, right off the bat, I said, "Stand By Me." But there are so many references, you can't even keep track.
I enjoyed seeing Matthew Modine in it. A while back, we were reminiscing about the movie "Vision Quest" that he made in the '80s, and we were wondering if it still held up to our memories of how good it was. So we rented it, and it did.
Definitely watch The Fear of 13, DontH8.
