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.
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.
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!

Have you seen Making a Murderer yet? Did you love it?!
No, I have not seen the show but it is on my list! I have heard so many great things about it.
i saw a few of my friends posted about this on Facebook. I should check it out especially now that Netflix is available in my country!
My husband was telling me about this the other day! Sounds very interesting to me!
I’m obsessed with this show!! No spoilers! IT is fascinating! There are also podcasts about it!
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.
i was reading about this in a news online portal the other day and i got no idea what is it about haha i refused to entertain anything on netflix or else goodbye to my social – social media life haha but this story is very catchy every one is so into this thing!
I keep getting asked about this series since I’m on the StreamTeam too but I haven’t checked it out yet. Lot’s of controversy going on about it.
Yes! I’m hearing about it everywhere since writing about it.
I have heard nothing but great things about this show! I will have to take a weekend to check it out!
My niece recommended this show to me but I haven’t got a chance to watch it yet. Thanks for sharing!
We’re 6 episodes into it. It’s a really interesting story and leads to lots of great discussion.
I have been hearing a ton of things about this new documentary series and so many of my friends are addicted. I plan on starting it with my husband very soon!
I just recently saw this on Netflix, I haven’t looked at it yet but you totally have me curious. I think I will check it out tonight.
I have seen a lot of buzz about it online! SOunds interesting i have my netflix account I cant wait
I’m so excited! Netflix is FINALLY in South Africa. Now I can enjoy all the awesome programs too.
I love crime shows and I’ve seen some great reviews about this one. I guess it’s time for some Netflix!
This show has been SO popular lately. everyone I know is talking about it. I haven’t watched it for myself but am looking forward to it.
My husband and I really got into that movie. We couldn’t stop watching the episodes.
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.
Sounds like a great new series! Hoping that Netflix will hit Asia soon lol 😀
Sounds like a show I might get into. I’m going to add it to my must watch list! Thanks for the suggestion.
I just heard about this show this morning and I decided I want to start watching it!
Omg hubby and I turned this on Saturday night thinking o it will be fun to watch an episode every night when Haylie goes to bed….and let’s just say it’s now Tuesday & we are already finished lol.. We just couldn’t stop watching!
I’ve heard so much about this, I really need to check it out! I’m especially interested now that I know what it’s about! lol!
I need to add this to my list of shows to watch on Netflix. These psychological thrillers always intrigue me.
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.
A friend of mine just posted about that show. I’m thinking I will be checking it out!
I love crime TV although I don’t have a netflix but I love recording it on regular time and watch it later.. I will check that out.
Me too, definitely sounds like my kind of show that my husband and I would enjoy!
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 love watching documentaries too, maybe not while working out 🙂 But this definitely looks creepy and engaging at the same time
I need to get nexflix already! Everyone is always saying such wonderful things about it! Love a good mystery! This sounds great
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.
Both the hubs and I enjoy watching crime shows too. We haven’t seen this one yet. Thanks for the recommendation. We’re going to check it.
Love crime based shows. Making of a murderer is on my short list for this cuddle season.
My mom and I were just talking about how we need something new to watch. I will check this 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!
Is this the same show that people are boycotting? I normally find shows like this disturbing but my daughter loves them!
This looks great! I am such a fan of such murder mystery show!
Love the treadmill idea too!
This looks great – I am a fan of such murder mystery topics.
That is also neat to know you are a treadmill worker only if occupied by such cool topics!
I’ve come across about this on my Twitter feed and it did caught my attention. Sounds very interesting, I’m going to check it out.
I keep seeing ads for this, and I just haven’t had time to watch it. I think I will make some time this weekend. I love shows like that!
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!
I have not watched this show yet. I have been saving it. It sounds like ut wll be interesting.
I have been seeing posts about this on Facebook and I am very intrigued. Needless to say, the series sounds a little nerve racking.
Haven’t seen this one yet! Hopefully, I can catch up soon with the new episodes.
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. 🙂
Haha! I think you might be the only other person (besides me) who thinks it’s funny. You rock 😀
I haven’t seen this, yet. My daughter keeps telling me I should watch this.
I miss my treadmill… I love that you multitask and reward yourself with Netflix while you workout… I wonder if I could buy a treadmill and get Netflix??
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.
My Facebook blew up over this show!! I need to watch it and see what it is all about!
I never seen this show yet but it sounds good. Thanks for sharing
I am totally watching this right now! Interesting! Everyone is talking about it so I had to check it out
I haven’t seen this show yet but it sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I have heard a lot of great things about this show! I have not had a change to watch it myself yet.
I’ve heard of this show a couple of times but I’ve never watched it before. A lot of people seem to love it, which makes it more interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I have heard this is a great show. I will have to start watching it soon. I love all the great shows and movies they have on Netflix.
I’ve never seen this yet in Netflix, sounds interesting, I’m sure my husband would love it.
I heard that this is ridiculous (not sure if they meant in a good or bad way) so I have been afraid to watch! I love Netflix and need to check it out for the grown up shows and not just the kid ones!
I am going to start watching this on the weekend. Watching it while on the treadmill is a great idea.
I love crime dramas! I also need to hit the treadmill for 20 minutes a day. LOL I do have Netflix and I will certainly check this out! Thanks for the heads-up!!
I have Netflix, but haven’t even heard of this show yet. I am totally going to check it out. Sounds like the perfect one to keep you charged for your workouts!
I am watching the first episode right now!!!
We started watching this last night! Already on episode 5! SO GOOD!! Looking forward to catching another episode tonight!!
I have been hearing so much about Making a Murderer. I need to give it a watch. Watching something interesting while on the treadmill makes time go by faster.
I’m not really into Netflix but I love movies that have something to do with mystery. I’ll check this one.
I have no seen Making a Murderer yet! This is actually the first that I’ve heard of it!
Me too! New to me!
I agree I need either a good show or good book on tape to keep me on the treadmill! It is hard to do any exercise without entertainment!
I have heard quite a bit about this show the last day or two and it’s got me interested a little bit. I’ll be checking to see if we have it on Canadian Netflix!
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 🙂
Just heard about this today, very intriguing. I always wonder about those that are falsely imprisoned I would definitely like to catch this show!
I just heard about this show today and I can’t wait to watch it!!!!!
I haven’t heard of this show! I have to be careful with Netflix… It’s too easy to binge! (Okay. I love it! HA!)
I have heard so many things about this show but haven’t had time to watch it. thanks for sharing, I’ll try to find some time.
This is going on my to watch list. I hadn’t heard of this one, but it sounds very interesting – and horrifying.
I have heard so much buzz about this show. I can’t wait to start watching it!
I have heard about this show. I’m not sure if it is for me. I like to live in a bubble of happiness. I’m not sure I could handle something like that!
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.
I am about halfway through the first episode! I really need to sit down and watch it, I just haven’t had a chance to really sit down and watch any shows these last few weeks.
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!
This sounds like a show my husband and I would enjoy. Love these types of criminal suspense shows! I will have to look for it on Netflix!
Ive been seeing quite a few people talking about this lately and have been super curious about it, I’m going to have to check it out with my boyfriend!
This show popped up on my Netflix account as I was getting ready to watch a Hillary Swank movie. It sounded good than and even better now. Off to watch.
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.
I’ve never seen it! I’m a huge Netflix fan so it’s only a matter of time. I’ve been intrigued about i t.
I have not seen it yet. I will have to check it out. A great movie for when the kids are asleep.
I saw this while browsing on Netflix this weekend. It sounds like a great show!
I have seen this “recommended” to me a few times on Netflix. It looks really awesome! I can’t wait until the kids go back to school so I have some alone time for shows like this!!
I binge watched this when it first came out on Netflix. I was so puzzled by the events afterwards that I didn’t know who to believe.
My imagination might be a bit to vivid for this one but I can assure you my son and his gf will be addicited. I will pass this netflix title on to them.
My friend just recommended the show to me last week! It must be really good at so many people are talking about it.
Making a Murderer sounds like a great watch. I’m always interested in stories of wrongful conviction.
We finished it a few days ago, and I’m all like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?! I don’t want to leave spoilers here in the comments, but some of those endings are cliffhangers!
We are watching it and both of us are HOOKED. It is an amazing show.
I haven’t seen this yet, but it’s on my list. It’s exactly the kind of thing I love to watch.
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 ……. 🙂
Everyone on my Facebook has been talking about this series. I really have been meaning to check it out.
I’ve just noticed this show in Netflix and was thinking I should give it a try. It sounds very intriguing!
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 is the first time I heard about this show and it sounds interesting. I would love to see this.
I have heard so much about this show, and it sounds fascinating. I’m definitely going to have to check it out. And, yes, I should watch it on the elliptical …
I also have to watch something when I am on the elliptical. Will have to check it out
I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s on my list of things to watch. It sounds awesome and now that I know it is based on your recommendation, I will make it a higher priority!
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!
Weeds and Dexter were great, weren’t they? I Have not seen OITNB, though. I am late to the game with that one I think.
I also try to run each morning. Few days ago finished watching Breaking Bad series and looking for new show. Will follow your suggestion and will give it a try. Cheers
Sweet! Hope you enjoy it!
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.
That is VERY true. If I read or watch too many things like this, it does change my perspective a bit. Gotta mix it up with comedies. 🙂
Oh yes! lol and I do. Even if it’s old Friends or Seinfeld reruns, they always make me laugh.
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 🙂
This sounds like a great show. I have never had Netflix and only get the opportunity to watch shows on Netflix when I go to watch my daughter’s dog.
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 love a good mystery. and for the tip on how to make the best of
your treadmill work out.
We love finding new shows and thanks for the recommendation. I also love the tip to use the treadmill while watching; we will try that for sure!
Thanks for the heads up on this series, I love a good mystery. and for the tip on how to make the best of
your treadmill work out.
It sounds like a great show. I enjoy a good mystery show. I am looking forward to following the story.
I love a good mystery and a great idea to watch something while I workout on my treadmill!
I’m so like you! I can’t do cardio without watching my Netflix! I’m on Switched at Birth right now, but going to check out Making a Murderer when i’m done!
Not my cup of tea (or movie). And it’s very hard to watch Netflix when I’m swimming….
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 love to watch Netflix when I exercise! This looks like a great show to watch!
I have to watch something to do my time on the treadmill as well and I am always fascinated with true crime stories. Thanks for heading me in the direction of this one!
Always looking for something good to watch. Will have to check it out
My husband was telling me about this the other day, it sounds really good! I’ll need to look it up.
It sounds like a really good show, but this is the first I have heard of it. I always read a book on the treadmill to keep me going 🙂
I recently joined Netflix and I have to force myself to stop watching movies now! I can’t wait to see this one as I am addicted to crime shows also!
This is totally for me! I am a true crime addict and have seen almost every series.
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!!
I agree! Hearing about what went on with this investigation was so frustrating!
I just recently got Netflix after being without for a short hiatus. I’ll definitely have to watch this show. Sounds interesting.
I just started this show and am very curious about it. I love all the crime shows!
Oh man, I do too. They’re addicting!
