Watching 'Making a Murderer' is a must, and really grabs attention a couple of episodes in.
Now, if you haven't watched it, here is a good list for a True Crime Hyper-cycle which goes over similar themes, namely potential miscarriages of justice, bumbling law enforcement, laywers , judges, fans and other odd characters, the role of the press in such cases, the angle of the documentary makers apart from the main subject which is True Crime:
1. Making A Murderer
Start here and this should be quite a wild ride in Manitowoc. After you've seen the show itself and the plight of Steven Avery, there are a lot of resources online that you can look for for further information on the case, information not provided in the documentary.
When I finished it, fairly late considering other people binged it as its release, little did I know there were similar cases and docs in the past, and that some would even be forthcoming. For the following, be aware that there are some gruesome pictures in them.
So, if you finished MAM and are looking for something touching on the same themes, follow through with the case of the West Memphis Three:
2. The West Memphis Three Case
3. The JonBénet Ramsey Case
A&E, Dr. Phil as well as CBS all have documentaries/shows on this quite troubling case. You can also look for 'I know who Killed JonBénet' on Youtube, specifically for interview of one Detective Arndt, who allegedly is responsible for part of the bumbling in that case...
For the West Memphis Three case as well as the JBR one, it is very interesting to search for additional information on the Internet.
