    Just watched Should I Marry A Murderer and man… either the Scottish police involved were utter incompetents or the Scottish criminal justice system needs a complete overhaul. They appear to need the case totally proved before they can place a suspect on remand. Muirhead was treated appallingly

    I finished binge watching that ‘Should I Marry a Murderer?’ and I have thoughts. Those brothers were psychopaths. No remorse. Willingly allowed that poor man to die. Deserved more than they got. The police failed the key witness in a despicable way. The key witness was a full-on narcissist.

    Netflix is doing a solid job of rolling out documentaries and limited series that I would categorize as "why the fuck women don't come forward" - Predator of Seville - Trust Me: False Prophet - Kidnapping: Elizabeth Smart And now "Should I Marry A Murderer?" as an added case study. Cripes.

    Watched the ‘Crocodile’ episode of Black Mirror for the first time last night. It was broadcast in the year that cyclist Tony Parsons was killed (after a hit and run) by two drunk game keepers who covered things up until they didn’t. His bicycle was never found although a key witness desperately tried to find it… in a black comic fugue state. If you’ve watched the episode and the Netflix doc about the Parsons case the parallels are VERY spooky. The central characters of both stories have…

    The third episode of Should I Marry A Murderer is astonishing. And the whole series is like a real life version of that Zendaya film The Drama. With the central character Snapchatting their own descent into madness. Complete with hearts and glitter filters.

    "Should I Marry a Murderer?" isn't nearly as compelling as the sweeping vistas and high production value suggest. This may be yet another (3 episode!?) Netflix docuseries that's a bit of a waste of time. Waiting for an unusual twist or plot point, and halfway through episode 1 and it's not there.
