Worth 10/10, easily.

I loved this show. I stumbled upon it on Netflix maybe a year ago because I couldn't find anything else. I went into it assuming it would be one of those shows my grandpa would watch but it could be interesting enough to play it in the background while I do work around the house. After a couple episodes I stopped doing any work and was locked into the screen.

I must've been through this entire series in about two months. I also got everyone I possibly could to give this a shot, and before I knew it people were texting me every day about the episodes they were on. It became somewhat of an obsession for quite a lot of us.

The narrator, Peter Thomas, is perhaps one of the greatest narrators for a documentary series ever. Over time you'll start to recite the words he's going to say before he even says them (if you watch the series I've got one word for you- Luminol. As an added bonus I'll also mention Super Glue Fuming). The stories they told were never, ever bad, but some were obviously way better than others though I swear there isn't a single bad episode of this. The re-enactments could sometimes be corny as hell, but even the creators said this was intentional so that nobody would confuse the acted scenes for real footage.

Overall, if you like crime docs, or if you're like millions of others who got into Making a Murderer you should at least give this show a chance. There's hundreds of hours of show here, it will consume your life and it's totally worth it.
