The Netflix documentary is so slow I still haven’t finish watching it.
And he is guilty for sure !

it looks kind of convoluted but if it's good enough, it will be a very fun binge watch

[escalena]

oh this is a true crime case? scratch the fun y'all this will be terrifying.

Oh yes, every kid from central NC grew up with this case at the forefront of our childhoods for ages.

Is it weird that I'm getting tired of the constant fictionalization of true crime? I don't even watch shows like this, so it isn't as if it has a direct impact on me, but every time they trot out a new one, I'm like, "Another one?"

They just seem so bad.

no i am tired of it too. it's part of the reason why people think real life works like a movie.

[soupdupcosmogrl]

That's one drawback! It isn't even about their biases, since even documentaries and single-episode shows employ those. I just don't want to watch an actor play a real-life murderer or victim. I think that that is, regardless of angle, part of how you end up with people thinking x killer is hot or blorbo from their shows.

trust no Petersons!!!

If a man is named Peterson and a woman dies anywhere near him, he's guilty no trial needed.

He did it. The end.

Gonna watch it only to be blessed by the presence of Toni Collette. 🙏
