My little sis told me to watch this series. Should I watch the documentary first or this?

From what @Methodical was saying - sounds like they watered down some significant details in the documentary because I don't remember some of the talking points that people are bringing up on social media. I think the documentary from 2012 was on PBS, where they tend to make it for a whiter wider audience and sugar coat the presentation, so it's not going to get the same treatment.

I would watch the documentary first which I think would help you a lot, especially with the discrepancies in the boys’ stories- to see the actual tapes and how much the story changed. Then watch this series cause it's way more graphics, more details especially to see dramatization of prison life, especially for Korey, was truly heartbreaking. I don’t even know how he survived.

Just watched the first episode.

Got damn. I got shook at the end when the kids all reflected back at what they were doing while the rape was taking place and now all of a sudden they got manipulated into telling them they were involved

Now I'm annoyed. :francis:

So can someone explain to me what exactly was going on in the scenes where Raymond was talking to his father on the phone in jail? Looked like he was running that bytch by the first time he got out :manny:

Was the white guard who looked out Korey real? or was that a Hollywood fabrication?
