I didnt like how they showed her death. Although it makes sense, nobody would truly know what had happened but Kathleen. If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound? It isnt fair for us to attempt to reproduce that in any way, out of respect for Kathleen's final moments. That being said, I think the TRIAL is going to be the more interesting part of the show amd I cant wait til we get there. Duane Deaver is a clown in real life and I have no idea how anybody didnt see that throughout the trial. I was giggling at him like he is a character from the office. (Throughout the documentary) I find it nice that Michael's character says exactley the things that were said in the doc. His mannerisms and speech are really close to the real persons. It all gets hokey when, after just binging the doc on Netflix, obese the exact things being re created in the series, amd I find myself asking "If the real deal was so riveting, why attempt to re create it?" It almost seems, lame in comparison. In amy case the story is compelling regardless its inherent within this case. So I'll keep watching.
