'The Staircase' is Netflix's latest addictive true-crime series

http://www.businessinsider.com/netfl...-series-2018-6


  • Netflix's "The Staircase" is the latest in its line-up of addictive true-crime series.
  • It follows novelist Michael Petersen, who was accused of murdering his wife, Kathleen.
  • She was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in their Durham, North Carolina home in December 2001.
  • Like "Making a Murderer," there is a huge debate over whether or not Petersen did it — and little evidence supporting either theory.

Watching EP9 now. Every bit as good or better than "Making a Murderer".

It is really good, especially the courtroom scenes. It’s about 3-4 episodes too long though, IMO. I binged the first 8-9, then strung along the final handful because it’s mostly just ol boy flexing his narcissism.

if everybody doesn't know already, the first 8 eps are the original documentary, which basically kicked off the true crime doc craze a decade ago. Netflix had nothing to do with any of that. The last 3 or 4, that's the new stuff. I don't know why they bill it as a single season.

I didn't know that but it makes sense. I could've done with just the original. Maybe the additional Netflix episodes would've been a more valuable addition had I previous seen the original, but watching it as a whole, they seemed to drag it down.

I remember watching this several years back. On Youtube I believe. I personally think the guy is guilty and I also think the DA, ADA, and some of the detectives involved are dirty as hell. Kinda like Making a Murderer.

Nice, I was intrigued. But after watching Evil Genius and the jinx wondered if my expectations were too high. How does it compare to those two? I thought those two were a step above making a murderer.

Was wondering the same. So many of these in-depth multipart true crime docs are being touted as amazing without a qualitative comparison.

They're not ALL amazing, nor are all of them created equal.

It was hilarious to me seeing Mike Nifong in the first episode and immediately made me question the validity of the DA.

I'd put the first 8 or so episodes on the same level as Evil Genious, The Jinx, and Making A Murderer in the sense that I had to force myself to turn it off and go to bed. The alleged crime is fascinating and the accused is completely unlikeable (imo), so it's compelling in that sense. The case strategy and courtroom footage is top tier.

Spoiler!


As stated in my above posts, I felt the Netflix episodes that weren't part of the original, strung it out to where I was going several days without watching an episode and really stopped caring how it finished, honestly. Overall, that drops it a notch below the above listed shows, but certainly still a step above the Scott Peterson/Casey Anthony type programming.

I haven't watched it since it initially came out all those years ago, but I remember my reaction at the time being that the original documentary was really, really good.

in making a murderer, you find yourself thinking the boys maybe are innocent.

in the staircase, you find yourself thinking this guy is a self absorbed author/murderer, narrating a who done it novel he would like to write one day.

but you find yourself watching because you want to know you are right in your gut.

the staircase is boring as hell, but you are drawn to it like a bad car wreck.

I have been watching it on Max and find it a good watch, worth the time IMO.
