I'm a little (read:1 year) late to the Making a Murderer watch party, but when I finally sat down to watch this binge-worthy series I was not disappointed. The entire series runs about ten hours long, and is full of plot twists and shady police officers and government officials that force you to question everything you thought you knew about our justice system here in the United States. However, when watching a grim series like this, sometimes I just had to laugh at the people of Manitowoc County. So here are ten hilarious thoughts I had while watching Making a Murderer.
1. When the intro started and I thought I had accidentally turned on Game of Thrones.
Here's a link to an awesome video that plays the Game of Thrones title sequence with Making a Murderer's music.
2. My reaction when Gregory Allen basically confessed to the rape of Penny Beerntsen, but the Manitowoc County sheriffs were just like "That sounds fake but okay" and Steven Avery was kept in jail anyways.
3. Then finally Steven was released after serving 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and we all thought that he was kind of an okay guy, but still looked kinda creepy.
4. When there were eight episodes left in the series and Teresa Halbach was just introduced.
5. That moment when I realized that people from Wisconsin literally use the word "yeah" for everything and I wanted to die.
Send this to your true crime loving crush on Valentine's Day.
"Maybe 'yeah' can be our 'okay'."
6. When the reporters were always saying what the audience was thinking and were just as confused as we were.
7. Then every few episodes Steven would somehow have a new girlfriend/fiancee??
How did he even meet new women while in jail??
8. I also realized that Jerry and Dean were truly the best lawyer bros on the show.
9. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That a Manitowoc county police officer or sheriff said that they couldn't remember what they'd said or where they had been after Steven's arrest for the Halbach case, and then were forced to read a report that proved they had been in the place they said they weren't.
10. Finally, I decided that I'd never ever visit Wisconsin because the police are corrupt and everything is terrible.
