Interesting documentary set around the trials and prison time Sean Ellis faced after admitting he was in the same area the night a Boston Police Officer was shot. Sean does not in any way look like someone capable of killing and does appear to be wrongfully convicted. Very well done in the first few episodes uncovering the both sides of the story and the darker sides of the Boston Police Force in the 90s but I did get the feeling at times the documentary was always swaying towards the accused and his defence. It did leave as others have said a few questions unanswered about the gun, his friend and uncle. Overall a very good watch and gripped by the first 6 episodes. Maybe could have been shortened but would recommend

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.
