Making a Murderer
Netflix true crime
Making a Murderer is a 2015 Netflix documentary series examining the case of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man exonerated after eighteen years in prison for a rape he didn't commit, then convicted of murder shortly after his release.
The title plays on the question of whether the justice system creates criminals through wrongful prosecution.
The series sparked widespread debate about police misconduct and became a cultural touchstone for true-crime media: I went down a Making a Murderer rabbit hole last weekend.
