10 Netflix Documentary Series EVERYONE Should Binge

10. Making A Murderer

We kick this list off with the grandaddy of all of the documentary series worth binge-watching. In fact, this story of criminal injustice might well be what inspired that particular activity and phrase to be coined.

In 1985, Steven Avery was found guilty for the sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beernsten, a crime he did not commit. This was confirmed 18 years later, thanks to introduction of DNA evidence, leading him to be fully exonerated. Avery filed a civil lawsuit against Mantiowoc County due to his false imprisonment, which would have made him a multi-millionaire.

However, two years later, Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, found themselves as the key suspects in relation to the disappearance of Teresa Halbach, whose remains were discovered in their family's salvage yard. The men were subsequently charged for her murder, despite there being strong implications that tampering and coercion had been used by the prosecution.

In the following season, Avery and Dassey have new attorneys, more evidence emerges and the lives of all involved is explored.

There is yet to be any confirmation as to whether there will be a third installment. Much like the accused, we are going to have to wait a while longer.
