A well-made documentary that follows Mike Peterson and his defense team. It is obviously biased toward them. However from what I could see it did show both the defense and the prosecutions facts and claims throughout the trial, therefore the viewer can still make up their own mind by looking at the facts.
[spoiler]It is pretty clear, to me, that he did not kill his wife. I did even go into this thinking that he was guilty(without much knowledge of the case though) but there were no evidence that, for me, spoke to his guilt in any way or form. And then the absolute incompetence and ill will from the prosecution, police involved and forensic lab workers...?! Baffling.[/spoiler]

We enjoyed it initially but as it progressed we found ourselves skipping a lot of the monologues and the family discussions because it was so very biased. The final speech by the sister of the dead wife was brilliant and quite telling, including a scathing reference to this "documentary". My wife and I felt almost like accomplices by watching it which made us feel uncomfortable. (NB. We came to the conclusion that he did it so we were biased also).

_The Staircase_ is an intriguing documentary that offers a unique perspective from both sides of the case. It takes you on a journey that's fascinating, leaving one with more questions than answers. However, while the series does an excellent job of delving deep into the details of the case, I couldn't help but feel that it could have been much shorter. Some scenes seemed repetitive and unnecessary, which made the series feel slightly dragged out.

AH, so good. I like how its really unbiased in how they portray him, because it allows you to feel the uncertainty that others felt watching the case.

Dragged out for too many episodes. There was so much filler and pointless scenes that by the end I was fast forwarding some. [spoiler] I googled the case after I finished the show and was shocked to read about the owl theory. It made more sense than anything I had just watched. :person_facepalming::female_sign: [/spoiler] I felt so bad for everyone, especially the kids. Such a horrible situation.

One of the first trials I got interested in.
I really liked how the story was told and it made me passionate about it.
I recommend watching it, it certainly deserves more attention.
