the taglines and trailers for this were a little unnecessary; i think the director did right by the family and i'm glad that steven stayner's children and wife got a chance to tell their story the way they wanted it to be heard. hulu didn't need to market it as a mystery or salacious true crime story because it's not really a mystery for anyone familiar with the genre and certainly not one for anyone from that part of california. its a devastating story and it's a worthwhile watch even if you're familiar with the case (having the actors who played the brothers read interview transcripts was fascinating, honestly), i just think whoever decided how this would be advertised played into exactly what this series highlighted about the way media behaves around human tragedy. my main criticism is the inclusion of the mitigation specialist's remarks about the stayner family history. i think that shouldn't have been mentioned at all unless it was going to get addressed by someone other than a member of the defense team.

A very good story and a tragedy for the Stayner family. However the description of the series here is a bit misleading.
