The concept behind this mini series is interesting, but the case studies lack depth and background. The science was well explained and gave both sides of the story, however the stories didn't feel complete. Either the focus needed to be on the science and how it can be used to in case trials or the focus needed to be on the supposed wrongful convictions.

Idk why it took me so long to watch this on Netflix. I suppose I'd gotten a bit burnt out on exploiting true crime as entertainment and figured this was just another show describing somebody's gory tragedy for no other reason than to allow the rest of us the satisfaction of saying 'that could never happen to me'. Yes, it can. However, I found this show to be different. There's alot of eye opening information about forensic science and evidence that the majority of the public aren't aware of but should know as we're the ones convicting people. Those convictions are life altering, and could be for numerous people. Our justice system is crooked and has been crooked. We've known that and I don't see that changing, so maybe it's just left up to us to stop convicting people on junk science made up 'evidence'. They're banking on us being ignorant. Let's do better. Saying you're an expert doesn't make you an expert. The lady in episode 3 really got me right in the heart. She lost her daughter but was dropping lines like 'they can't take me to court and paint me as a bad, bad person. I bake!' Or 'I'm a Girl Scout, goddamn it!'. She was great and I could really feel and relate to the anger she feels bc of the injustices that came after so tragically losing her little girl. Think of suffering the worst possible tragedy you can imagine and then either you or someone you love who you know is innocent goes down for it. She's angry and probably will be forever. I deeply empathize with her. I'm angry for her too.

A show about how differing forms of evidence has been used to convict or exonerate people is a good premise that crime enthusiasts would be into. The problem being that it doesn't actually do that. It focusses on the innocent bias and completely lacks any two-sided investigations. The first three episodes (especially the cadaver dogs) are really poorly presented. It's just presumed that these people are innocent and that evidence has been manipulated to gain a conviction. People who are into these shows can clearly see the bias and agenda and we can see the holes rifled throughout. Literally, one episode is called 'Blood Splatter' - the correct use and spelling is Blood Spatter lol! It just serves as precursor that the viewer knows this is going to be poorly researched and presented. The final episode is the best and could have been a movie length version that would have been really interesting; so hopefully a proper investigative documentary will be presented one day.

Me and my husband thought we found a good new show to watch. In the case of the " cadaver dogs " my husband asked why the sent of a corpse being detected on the child car seat couldn't have happened while the " kidnapper " killed the child. We've only seen 2 episodes and will likely not watch more. It's an interesting premise, but not done well. These shows seen to slant toward the suspects being false accused and being found guilty with one small piece of evidence. We're a bit brighter than this, Netflix

Especially the first episode I felt like watching another "lonely island " episode. Next ones are slightly better... 😳
