Nov 5, 2018Loved the first season but you can tell the producers didn't have enough material for a 10 episodes second season. There's so much boring filler and repeated footage from the first one. The good, interesting parts ammount to 3 episodes or so. Besides, knowing Steven and Brendan are still in prison it's like knowing the ending of a thriller before you've even seen it.

Dec 9, 2018While I loved season one, season two of Making a Murderer is a drag for most of the season. It finally gets interesting around episode six, but for the season to be half over by that point is just not acceptable. If they had gone with a shorter number of episodes in this season, it could have been nearly as good as the first season.

Jan 25, 2021Disappointing second season that adds nothing new to the original. Does seem like nothing more than attempt to cash in on the success of the first season.

The docuseries is so hindered by its own blind spots that by the end of the season, it seems to be chasing its own tail, lost in a world where it only sees what it deems relevant, permissible, or just. It would be worthwhile for this series to encounter, and try to interpret, its own warped reflection.

Both storylines come with moments of triumph and disappointment for the respective teams in season 2, but it's Zellner's case, with its bloody reenactments, science experts and her fascinating and relentless brain at work, that will keep viewers in their chairs.

If Making A Murderer is primarily focused on proving the innocence of Steven Avery—a seed that was sown three years ago--it’s because the show and its filmmakers genuinely believe in him and in the justice system. It’s a surprising through-line, this kind of enduring optimism in an institution that has allegedly failed both Avery and Dassey many times over. Defense attorneys are a force for good in this story.
