I wouldn't be surprised if the reason they're using the same film maker is that this new case somehow ties in to the first season.

Binged this in a couple of days after some people I follow on Twitter would not stop talking about it, glad I did. This is really well-done, the acting is phenomenal.

I just want to pop into this thread every few days just to remind myself how great this was. First time in a long while where I've really been drawn into a mystery story.

The CGI recreations were spot on perfect, and I hope CGI handjob wins one of the tech Emmys

I love the concept of this show and it has some really funny moments but I really feel like they could've edited this down to half the run-time easily. I'm only 3 or 4 episodes in and they've covered the idea that Dylan's whereabouts are unknown for 30 minutes and Alex Tremboli's credibility like a dozen times in the exact same way. Half the show is a recap of the events covered in the previous 10 minutes.

Just finished watching this show with a friend and we both enjoyed it. I liked that it got a little deep in the end and was about preconceived notions and abuses of power. My favorite Kraz joke was when they were showing tweets about the show after it had blown up and one of the tweets was "That Kraz guy is going to get fired" right before it shows that he was. I hope they cover a new mystery in the second season. I know people here are talking about how this story still has loose ends but the loose ends help sell the story since it wouldn't make sense for everything to be wrapped up nicely.

Started rewatching this show. One of my favorite jokes in the whole thing was when they were talking about Christa organizing a walkout on Rosh Hashana, and one of the Wayback Boys exclaims "Yo, Jew Day is AWESOME."

I'm sad that no one has put the handjob recreation scene on YouTube. I think I could get a few folks interested just from that wonderful satire.

Yessssssss The last episode was a downer, with nothing good coming of the entire investigation, but I really loved how the revenge on Alex Trimboli came that day after all, and spared one of his two pizza slices I'm gonna remember all these names from this show forever. Peter Moldanado, Sam Eckland, the rest... I ought to work the name Alex Trimboli into some practice problems for students sometime. Hope they're all back for season 2. So many classic ones. Probably the only show about high schoolers with good character development that's ever been made. I think what I like about this show is that it's a low stakes drama -- no one's in any danger in this show, the worst threat for most of them is high school discipline, no one gives a gently caress, and half of the time the people being interviewed completely blow off what's going on -- yet the documentarians play it so straight and build a case with extreme quality and 3D renderings and transitions and narrative pacing.

I watched the promo for this show and thought it was an one-off joke making fun of Serial/Making a Murderer, so it came as a surprise when I was browsing Netflix yesterday and saw the same thing as a full-fledged series. It's pretty good. I don't think it was laugh out loud funny, other than a few jokes, but it was entertaining, pretty smart and such a good take on the stuff they parodied that it actually feels like a legit example of one of those things. Dylan is a good-rear end character, I thought he was gonna be the dumb "jock" for the whole series but he had some surprising depth to him. I agree with whoever said this could've been trimmed down to 4 episodes or so but honestly, the meandering in-show "editing" fits Serial to a tee. Alex Trimboli eating poo poo constantly is a thing I needed in my life. This is one of those things that I hope ends right where it ended, but if it gets a S2 I'm up for it. A girl I met during my exchange year in HS reminds me a LOT of Christa, except she was lovely and wouldn't spray-paint dicks on cars I KNOW YOU DID IT FESS UP

For all the S2 talk it sounds like maybe they're going to go with an all new mystery and cast, which is a shame but they've taken everything as far as it can go with this one and honestly, though they don't come out and say it, they essentially use the last 20 minutes of the final episode to spell out who did it and why.

In an interview they mentioned they're keeping the two kid filmmakers but everyone else will be new. Kinda curious to see how they explain their presence; maybe Peter has to transfer to the private preppy school?

Most of the students from season 1 were seniors and thus graduated, but I'm sure there's still rich veins of drama to mine at Hanover High School.

I sat down and watched the first episode because you know, what the hell right? 5 hours later I had watched the whole first season. I couldn't stop. It was so good.

Just finished watching this. As someone who listened to Serial, I thought this was an absolutely spot-on and hilarious satire of the first season. Really hope the second season is somehow a parody of the Bowe Berghdal season of Serial. Born_to_Lose posted:-In the text conversation where it is revealed that my boy Pat Mickelwait hooked up with not only Sarah Pearson but also her other hot friend, the start of the convo is something along the lines of "I can't believe he's on both our lists!" "Yeah he's not quite as big as *popular guy* though"... In other words, the reason Pat is getting action is he's got a huge dick. Been a few days since I watched that episode but I thought it was actually the opposite - they talk about how the popular guy's dick isn't as big as Pat's.
