Yeah, a lot of people (Especially on Reddit at the time) treated the real people in the first season as if they were characters in a god damned Agatha Christie novel. It was a little disturbing.

This is also exactly why I suspect these people hated the ending, since it didn't end like a mystery novel does and have detective Sarah Koenig gather everyone into the parlor and confirm that Adnan really was the killer, or that Jay was the killer, or whoever else people were doing their theorizing about. That was never the point.
