Many TV critics have praised the series as well. "It's as engrossing as they come, impactful and devastating, and it left me with a hollowed-out despondence generally treatable only with alcohol and ranting," says Margaret Lyons of Vulture.
You can watch all 10 episodes of Making a Murderer on Netflix.
