A must watch bit of nostalgia throwback for a child in the 80's. I started watching it and for some reason didn't continue, must try again as loved the karate kid films, the first two at least.

Made lovingly with due reverence and tongue in cheek fandom. Properly laugh out loud at times. Staggered it works as it should have been awful, but its a really enjoyable romp.

Can’t make my mind up if the series illustrates how biased a “factual” Netflix documentary can be or how poor the US legal system can be at times. Probably a combination of both but mostly the former. If you take the case presented by Netflix as the whole balanced view of the evidence available then it’s incredulous how the appeal courts arrived at their decisions. I guess though that, quite rightly, the prosecution probably either refused to cooperate with the making of the series or were not invited. I choose to believe the latter (at least in regards to his nephew). But who knows. Brilliant series, I don't know many people who have watched it but I could talk about it all day. Regardless of what you believe, I think we can all agree the wheels of justice turn slowly and that he originally definitely served over a decade on the basis of the police basically deciding he seemed a guilty type of bloke.

Yep, the nephew’s case is an interesting and troubling one. On one side I find it hard to believe that such senior and experienced appeal judges could dismiss the serious flaws in his taped interview that was apparent from the footage we saw that makes me think there must be more damning material. On the other hand though, it’s pretty shocking that such a young person, with obvious learning difficulties and low IQ, was allowed to be interviewed under caution and provide a confession without a legal representative being present regardless of the fact that he declined one. And as for the material on the PC, who it belonged to and the fact that it was withheld, well where to start. Apologies for the spoilers for anyone intending to watch it. I shan’t give away how it ends. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is fairly ridiculous but somehow its kinda joyful and melancholy at the same time. Could so easily be an absolute car crash of a programme but it is genuinely laugh out loud at times with Johnny getting all the best lines. Kreesh's face (and bizaare hands) are a distraction but just serve to add to the 'they have hardly changed' feeling of the main characters. The missus likes it and the eldest loves it too, so something that is very niche really is actually appealing to lots of people.

JoetheRam Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Tonight's recommendation: Fireplace for your Home - Birchwood Edition. Better than 99% of the rest of the crap that's on Netflix. Shame I don't have a 4k TV to truly appreciate it.
