My advice - watch the first 30 minutes of the first episode then jump to episode four because there is so much filler it spoilt the show.
You can also miss episode seven about the DA election.
This case brought me to tears and makes me not just fear the police even more, but to realize that the US legal system is truly terrifying.

This is a great example of how in the US justice system, any person can be a statistic or an example before they are a human. It does this by humanizing the protagonist. his attorney, his family and his supporters, while at the same time, giving in-depth examination the system which they are fighting against.
In reaction to those who are rating this documentary based on how much it entertained them, it illustrates that the big picture is still being missed in our society: and that is that these are no actors performing for our Netflix entertainment -- these are real human lives that were and still are being seriously effected in ways that most of us could not bear by a deeply flawed system.

I am a sucker for these true crime stories but stories like this need to be told!
Another story of a young black man getting screwed to close a big case. The boston DA, prosecutor and the cops who gathered "evidence" should be the ones in jail. This happens EVERY DAY. A complete perversion of the justice system in every way.
As a Boston Ian, I remember this case. The corruption was/is real. Just glad that Sean was able to get a fair shot at freedom. I ready many reviews thst the series was long. That it is, however it pulled me in. I watched it in its entirety and was glad I did. Bravo Netflix.
