'Making a Murderer' and True Crime in the Binge-Viewing Era - Rolling Stone
Making a Murderer's runaway success has brought the series attention well outside the small circle of dedicated documentary viewers, and with it questions about whether Ricciardi and Demos are filmmakers or advocates, documentarians or journalists.
