The sheer amount of archival footage in this show is absolutely nuts.
It's illuminating how flawed and naïve the concept of blind justice is.
If The Staircase is a puzzle, it's one that still works no matter how you decide to arrange the pieces.
Unmissable stuff.
It's tricky to write about this series without giving spoilers and, by dint of it being a trial drama, it's much more satisfying...
It's a must-watch for anyone interested in true crime shows as it's not only a fascinating case on its own but really the template for so much that's on television and streaming services today.
