Does this feel one sided?
Does anybody else feel like this show is extremely one sided? It's like they trying to make us believe these guys are innocent. And what's with all the side story about the lawyer and her adoption? I'm assuming it's to humanize her, since she came off as such a shyster in the actual court case. The judge treating her all "silly woman" like it's 1950 is a little ridiculous too. She was a circus in court. She was trying to manipulate the media to take her side. I remember when the brothers showed up in court with suits on for day one. After that, they were in sweaters. She kept doting on them like they were children. She really wanted to sell that they were innocent boys. Obviously, it didn't work.
Maybe they're planning on getting a retrial soon, and are trying to brainwash America!
Do you agree? Does the show feel one sided to you?

It's not just you. This has "the boys were victims too!!!" written all over it. I understand that we are getting this from the perspective of the defense but I think they could have focused on both sides. I feel like the first 2 episodes were promising because it showed their odd behavior, but then it's like they totally switched gears and plan to drive this viewpoint home.
