Should have been a lot better

I rated it 7 because the content is important, but the execution was terrible and that would rate a 5. As so many others have said, the jumping back and forth between cases is very confusing and detracts from the subject matter which is, or should be, of great concern to Americans. The music is awful, and at times drowns out what is being said on the audio tapes. I couldn't make out what anyone was saying half of the time. I was frustrated at the end because there was no clear cut resolution. I know life is like this at times, but I felt so sorry for Tommy and Fritz.

Fascinating story/clunky execution

As you can surmise from the title, this show deals with a wrongful conviction. Actually, four wrongful convictions that all took place in the 1980s in the small town of Ada, Oklahoma. The story is gripping, maddening, and nearly unbelievable. Unfortunately, the story itself is hampered by an over-dramatic score and a few too many TruTV-esque re-enactments. It could use more organization and editing. Some episodes seemed to be leading somewhere but ended up largely retreading the same path with different characters. I still give it 9/10 because the story itself is worth hearing. Sadly, it's a story we've all grown too accostomed to.

Content is a 10, but the execution is more like a 6 or 7

I enjoy True Crime stories, probably more than I should and I also like tales about overcoming injustice.

So this show based on John Grisham's only non fiction work, was right in my wheel house.

The problem with the series is there is a lot of filler and even repeating some of the same points, so although I found it a fascinating subject, I also felt like they could have told this in about three episodes.

Therefore, overall, I'd give this show 8 stars because it presents many important points that we should understand about our justice system, it took a little too long to get to the point.

A lot of interesting characters though, and definitely worth the watch.

Good story but direction is frustrating

I like this show but it annoys me to watch it as it is very easy to get confused or miss 3 seconds and be completely out the loop without having to rewind it, it is not simply because it is complex and in depth but the way the story is told is something else, not in any type of chronological order or seemingly any logical order, would have loved to have seen this real life story explained in a much clearer and generally more exciting way than what has been achieved here. Sorry.

Fascinating story told in a frustrating, USA way

Really interesting stories of two tragic murders.

Chops back and forth between the cases in an unnecessarily confusing way at points, and goes over and over and over the same details far too often. Could have been covered in half the duration.

I get that they want to make their point and case for the story, however the borderline Michael Moore rabbit punch crescendo in the finale is unnecessary. Ironic that they want to make a case that only a small proportion of the evidence made it to the trial, whilst wanting the viewer to make their decision based on their cherrypicked highlighted sentences of evidence.

Definitely glad I persevered, albeit I'll not revisit.
