MAKING A MURDERER: Watch Episode 1 of Netflix’s New True Crime Documentary Here
True crime has been a big thing lately, what with the popularity of the Serial podcast and the HBO documentary THE JINX. Now Netflix is getting in to the game with MAKING A MURDERER, which is available for streaming as of today (December 18).
But in case you don’t have Netflix, you can watch episode 1 below. MAKING A MURDERER focuses on Steven Avery, a man who spent 18 years in prison for a sexual assault he didn’t commit. When he was finally exonerated due to DNA evidence, he returned home a happy man. But he also brought a lawsuit against his town’s law enforcement officials that he believed targeted him for the crime, seeking to expose the truth and get some restitution.
Shortly after, Avery was back in court — this time charged with a murder. Is he guilty or are the police looking to set him up again to make his lawsuit go away? The filmmakers chronicled this fascinating story for 10 years and are looking to figure out the truth behind all of this corruption.
SHERLOCK Preview: The Bride is Coming….
SHERLOCK has been rooted in the real world for three seasons, but it looks like it may be venturing in to the world of the supernatural in the upcoming standalone, Victorian special.
In “The Abominable Bride”, Sherlock and Watson are firmly entrenched in 1895 and things are very different. And something very strange is happening in London: “Why is Thomas Ricoletti a little surprised to see his wife dressed in her old wedding gown? Because, just a few hours before, she took her own life… Mrs Ricoletti’s ghost now appears to be prowling the streets with an unslakeable thirst for revenge. From fog-shrouded Limehouse to the bowels of a ruined church, Holmes, Watson and their friends must use all their cunning to combat an enemy seemingly from beyond the grave.”
The new preview below gives us a better look at the ghostly, revenge-seeking bride. Don’t miss the 90 minute SHERLOCK special on January 1 on BBC in the UK or PBS in the U.S.
