Featured reviews
This is a really great short documentary. The story unfolds as Juan and his lawyer try desperately to prove that he was at a dodgers game with his daughter and not off murdering a man. The show is well made and unfolds unexpectedly. A great watch and an amazing story.
After so many crimes docuseries that spans over 10 hours , I would like to thank Netflix for FINALLY making one that is so straight to the point. No BS like what was the defendants ambitions as a kid or what he thought abt politics or how he and his gf met or even useless back stories and interviews. So thank you again Netflix.
The system is so corrupt and filled with holes. And I really sat here praying and wishing so hard that that prosecutor Silverman one day will get hers, that she herself or one of her children will have to go through something like this. Just for her to know..to feel what it's like. She made me nauseous the way she looked the way she acted. A criminal ironically locking up innocent people. And there are probably millions of other people in the word like her. The system is flawed..in many, many ways. It made me so mad and most of all sad.
They finally did a documentary that wasn't dragged out four times longer than it needed to. I hope there are more like this to come.
Would've rated it closer to an 8 but the scoring system is terribly bad on here. Let's go IMDb. Change it to out of 100 or get some decimal points in there. Shake it up.

Both the LA Detectives and the District Attorney should be in Jail.
Those three "curbed my enthusiasm" for LA's judicial system.
On the other hand, Juan's attorney, Todd Melnik, is a saint.
Ok, time to revisit CYE S4, E6.

Did you know
- TriviaThe title of this documentary, "Long Shot," has a double meaning. Crowd footage at a baseball game is likely to be filmed from a distance - the definition of a "long shot" in camerawork parlance. And there was only a very small chance that Catalan's lawyers would be able to find any footage exonerating him - so their defense strategy was figuratively a "long shot."
- Quotes
Larry David: Maybe, I don't know, every few years, somebody will bring it up or something and I'll tell the story. Maybe I'll tell it at a party, how I got a guy off of a murder. You know. Um. Impress a date with it, I don't know.
