L'Accusé: Meurtre et injustice dans une petite ville

I can only repeat what others have said already. This is such an important and intriguing story yet it's presented so poorly. I actually stopped and rewinded so many times because I couldn't follow. Which is sad because of its important message.

These stories are very important and I'm glad I watched this series. However it can a bit confusing with all the different characters involved with these 2 separate incidents. The dramatic parts are lackluster as well but not so bad as to ruin the episodes. Perhaps a pen and paper to write down notes would help keep the stories and characters straight in your head as you watch. 6/10

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.

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.

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.
