    The recreations on A Wilderness of Error are irritating, and it doesn’t really feel like it’s going to answer any questions or break new ground in the 50-year old MacDonald case.

    “A Wilderness of Error” is a new kind of true documentary that will keep you on the edge of your seat and eager for more information. It’ll be easy to see people clambering to read Morris’ book as well as “Fatal Vision” after this. If you missed the can’t miss quality of “The Jinx,” this will fill the void.

    Truth, it must be said, isn’t easy to pin down in A Wilderness of Error, and that ambiguity—as well as the mounting tension between Morris’ outlook and that of director Marc Smerling (producer of Andrew Jarecki’s Capturing the Friedmans and The Jinx)—makes the docuseries a particularly involving entry in the popular subgenre.
