Making a Murderer on Netflix

By 141 Comments

Y’aaaaaalllllllll. Y’all. Y’ALL. I have got a new show recommendation for you: Making a Murderer on Netflix. I saw someone suggest it to one of my favorite YouTubers, LeighAnnSays, and since she and I seem to have similar taste in shows, I checked it out. I’ve written before about how much I love crime TV, and this show satisfies the crime craving perfectly.

Netflix Making a Murderer

Earlier this week I also posted about how my bodybuilding competition prep season has begun, and with prep season comes LOTS O’ CARDIO. Which I hate.

The only way I can keep myself on a treadmill for 20+ minutes is to keep my mind occupied by watching something. For me, it’s best to watch something longer, because watching short bursts of video (like on YouTube) interrupts the flow.

So I prop my iPad or laptop up in front of the display on my trusty treadmill, Tread Milliamson, and go to town.

Tread Milliamson

This is Tread Milliamson.

Anyway, back to the show. It’s a Netflix original series in the same vein as the podcast, Serial (which I’m also obsessed with) in that it follows along with one crime investigation from episode to episode.

It’s centered on one man, Steven Avery, who was convicted of sexual assault and sent to prison. He served 18 years before being exonerated and released because he did not commit the crime, another man did.

There’s much more to the story, but I won’t give it away. If you love learning about crimes, investigations, and mysteries, this show is for you!

    I have loved many law and crime shows but sadly I do not have Netflix so don’t think I can see this one. I recently saw it online about a protest or a petition. Not really sure what that is all about, I can only guess they don’t want him making money off it. For a bit I thought maybe he went there innocent but they created a killer. Honestly I have no clue what it is about just guessing from the title. I’m still interested though so hoping it’ll end up on tv too. Doubtful but hey. I was worried they’d take it off Netflix before I got a subscription again because of the petition but that doesn’t look like that is going to happen because everyone is chatting about it.

    Nice looking treadmill and I use to love mine being in the same room as the tv because I’d work out more during my shows. I know many say that doesn’t happen but it did for me. I’d also flip on the little ones show and they’d watch their show while I rocked out to my tunes and walked. Hope you are having a great new year.

    Netflix has been an important source to watch some awesome shows over the years & this looks like a wonderful documentary as well which sounds like a thrilling one. My husband would love such crime investigation story so much.

    Yes we saw this. Binged watch it like everyone else. I think you would have to live in a cave right now to not know about it. It held a special interest for me because it happened in my home state.

    Watching TV while on a treadmill is an excellent way to make the time fly by faster.

    I use to read my favorite magazine. It worked well for me because it covered up the timer, and it gave me a chance to actually read my magazine, which I normally do not find the time to do anymore.

    YES, and YES some more! I am so intrigued with Steve Avery and this tragic story! I am on episode 3 and so disheartened.

    This sounds interesting. We are going to move the treadmill from the detached garage, where it was comfy to use in the summer, back to the house. We have a small woodstove in the front room, but will put the treadmill in a different room. It will be much easier to use it if there is a good show to watch on the laptop.

    I’m a fan of crime TV too and I know many, many people have been recommending Making a Murder so I can’t wait to watch it for myself! I’ll probably end up streaming this tonight after the kids have gone to bed!

    I haven’t heard of this one but it’s funny you mention it because my favorite radio show just did a whole hour about a Netflix documentary solving a murder. I have been looking for something good to watch, I will have to check these out.

    True crime is such an interesting and compelling topic on tv these days. The convenience of Netflix with documentaries such as this one is super cool. Makes getting to exercise much easier!

    Those stories are a killer…..really no pun intended. The idea of being incorrectly jailed only later to finally be released because it was proven you hadn’t committed a crime is a nightmare beyond any imagining. Sounds like a great distraction on the treadmill for sure!

    Thank goodness he got exonerated, but still… such a large chunk of time. Def. a solid storyline to make a series out of… and LOL at your treadmill’s name. High five for that one, you made me smile. 🙂

    I’m about half way through. I am so disappointed with how the cases were handled. But I’m so curious to know whether or not he did it. I think I might feel a little sad if I don’t get an answer at the end.

    I’ve never heard of this show before, but I am a crime show and Netflix addict! I’ll have to check it out. Although I must say that you’re pretty talented, because I would not be able to watch TV and treadmill at the same time LOL.. I’m too clumbsy when I’m not paying attention 🙂

    We binge watched this entire series over Christmas weekend. I do not even have words for how angry it made me and how it just outraged me. It is definitely a must see.

    You have no idea the number of hours my husband and I spent binge watching this series over break. It is quite disturbing and will make you question the judicial system. It’s a must-see!

    I watch Netflix or Hulu when I am on the treadmill. Sure makes time go a little faster. I started watching this the other day, got side tracked and havent had a chance to come back to it. I have watched a lot of documentaries, and I am about half way through this one. I guess I dont see what all the fuss is about. Is it just because of the nature of his story?

    I saw this at the urging of my daughter. When she was here for Christmas, we had a huge discussion about it. We are torn as to who is guilty of Teresa’s murder. I honestly think he did not do it.

    This sounds like something I would really enjoy watching. I’ve see a lot of talk about it online in the last few days that has left me feeling I need to see what it’s all about. Wish I had a treadmill too ……. 🙂

    This sounds like a great show! I’ll have to check it out! Also, my sister has been suggesting I listen to the Serial Podcast and now that she’s mentioned it, you’ve mentioned it and a few other people have mentioned it, it might be time to add this to my podcast list.

    I need to get to watching this! I slacked because I didn’t know how big it was going to get. If you like this, you should watch Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills. It’s a 3-part HBO documentary series about 3 kids who got sent to prison (one put on death row) for a crime they didn’t commit. It’s crazy.

    This show does look freaking gooooooood! I don’t have Netflix, BUT I get movies that Netflix, and other stations have had on at the library. I watched all of Weeds, then moved to Dexter, and now we’re on Orange is the New Black. All were great!

    Love your treadmill! I really want to get one this year. I have watched some crime series on I.D. and after reading your review, I will be sure to check this show out. I have to take breaks sometimes because you get so involved with the people they are talking about, it can bring you down a bit.

    I actually caught a few minutes of this the other day when my brother was watching it. It definitely sounded interested and he has been really into it I guess and told me some about it. I must watch soon now! I almost forgot.

    What a fun way to pass the time watching t.v. on a treadmill!

    I did see Making a Murderer and loved it! I still am not completely convinced he did the murder. It had me questioning a lot of the evidence that was presented 🙂

    Well, first off my treadmill is currently being used as a clothes tree, so I need to dig it out. As far as the video, it sounds right up my alley.

    I am so tired of seeing this and people talking about which drives me to further refuse to watch it. I need background music or shows to avert my thoughts from the labor that is working out.

    I loved this show. I learned alot and have issues with the investigation…but I was interested the whole time. And I watch my Netflix while on my stationary bike, or computer. I can not keep up with the movies or tv shows they add!!
