The case against Adnan Syed - another miscarriage of justice from the American legal system??

It’s produced by some big Hollywood heavyweights, also promised myself that I wouldn’t touch another Amy Berg documentary after she buried the Open secret doc, however, it’s well made, despite leaving a sour taste in my mouth because she is attached...

Have you listened to the podcast it's based on? I have, but I've not seen the film.

Thats interesting. I really enjoyed Serial but didn't like the documentary at all. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but I found the approach to be incredibly biased and that it contained very little to no new information compared to the podcast from a few years earlier. I'm not really sure why it even got made.

I think the narrative was driven by the appeals process, its sort of a fashionable area following making a murderer et al.. have to say though, far to many questions arose from the doc, the lack of forensic analysis left me sceptical...

The original paradise lost series remains the benchmark for me
