Making a murderer may be the most watched documentary series on Netflix and it keeps their audiences being glued to the show as the story unfolds. There was a complaint however, regarding the documentary as it is deemed to be staged and not authentic as it unfolds the story it tells its audience.
A Manitowoc County Sherriff Robert Hernan said he was not pleased at all by the outcome that was done with the supposed to be documentary film. If something is not right then 'Making a Murderer' could not be considered a documentary film, he said.
Hernan said, that because of so much media buss regarding the film, he decided to watch it with his inspector and said that after watching the film, he will stand by his statement that some of the scenes have been manipulated. "In several areas throughout the film, you can see where they cut the tape and manipulated things. One place real evident is one of the interviews with Steven Avery in episode 5 - if you watch one video, it jumps from 3:20 to 3:21, then to 3:17, then to 3:22 and then to 3:18."
Making a murderer was released on Dec. 19 last year. It is a 10-part documentary series that follows the case of Steven Avery, a man from Manitowoc County who is now absolved from his case of killing a freelance photographer, a crime he was said to not have committed.
According to the Rolling Stone Magazine, prior to watching the series, Hernan stated to a Herald times reporter the following: "A documentary puts things in chronological order and tells the story as it is ... I've heard things are skewed," He said that, "taking things out of context will make people have a different opinion or conclusion about the whole story." Hernan feels that in the film they were projected in a negative light but he also said that he cannot do anything about it anymore.
