We talked in class today about the logic of safety in a lot of TV shows, and mentioned the Netflix show “Making a Murderer”. In some ways it does follow the cookie cutter description for a crime/murder show, but in a few ways its also different. This article discusses some of those differences, and also addresses how it is still such a popular show even though it does not completely follow the logic of safety. One thing I noted about the show that is different (not mentioned in the article) is that at the end of the series the audience is not given a definite answer to who killed Teresa Halbach, as in most other crime shows we always know who the killer is. Let me know your thoughts!
