[HBO Max] It tries to build a true crime that seeks the possible innocence of the guilty unjustly imprisoned, but leaves an open ending pending the results of some tests that could be available in 2022. It's surprising the release of an unfinished show which doesn't pose too new questions and, of course, hardly offers answers, playing with the ambiguity of the guilty/innocent without addressing interesting topics.

Primarily a documentary about someone making a documentary. The subject of the film tends to frame everything in context to his perceptions in a very narcissistic way. A good portion of the time devoted to his conflict with his father. The filmmaker does a horrible job of setting up the crime, understanding who the victims were, even giving the viewer insights to the actual crime itself. Once again, making it all about him, his fears, and unresolved issues with his father. Even puts in a political angle. This attempts to be a copycat of the Netflix “Making of a Murderer” but loses focus. It was mildly entertaining when you’re trapped in a house because of Covid.

An interesting look at a case that has baffled everyone for over 60 years. The documentary presents good evidence for both sides of the murders. As the other reviewer said, the outcome might hinge on some ongoing testing but that is understandable as this case takes time to be solved. I came away not knowing who to believe, so I hope there is an update at some point.
