Interesting look at how a child who committed a horrible crime was failed by everybody in his life leading up the terrible act thus questioning his guilt.

This could be barely be called a documentary. It's a biased dramatic story telling in favor of the accused. No important questions or investigative analysis is attempted for anything that would be counter to the notion he is innocent for extenuating circumstances.

In addition to that, the makers are incompetent so that you have people talking on screen without telling you who they are with onscreen titles or narrative introduction. So why should I care about their opinion? What is their credibility?

And the lawyer is allowed to preen, self-aggrandize, and make everything about him while making it seemingly obvious he coordinated with them in the making of the documentary rather being just another source. This guy is the worst. The lawyer literally says Louisiana has the highest incarceration rates because they are crazy there, that he has the same crazy, and that he thinks it's a good thing so he still uses his crazy. Zero mention that Louisiana is also a state with the highest rates of police corruption and a privatized jail systems.

There are only three episodes left, and they choose to spend an entire black&white flash forward focused on Gene and a cheap mall heist?

Soooo repetitive. Twenty minutes are spent watching a fat guy shove his sausage fingers in his mouth while eating pastries in 6-7 repetitive scenes of fake sports talk while doing it.

This episode does nothing to advance the story of the transformation of Jimmy to Saul.

Disappointing.

Just bad. Even the casting is bad. The actors supposedly portraying HS girls look like they're 30yo.

It's hard to imagine how the story writing could get worse. HS romances between one teen alive and one teen dead? Ridiculous. Coming of age and empty nesting with undead parents? Yep, stupid.
