I would HIGHLY recommend watching it all in one sitting if you can. It really is like one 8 hour long movie. But if you have to break it up, really try to watch Ep 1 and 2 together, if at all possible.

I did not know this, but it makes sense. Stellar work.

Woof, there's no way I can stay in one place longer than two to three hours at a time.

No worries. It's still great if you watch it piece by piece. The important thing is just to watch it however you can. I was just really taken with how much the first two parts really feel like one part.

I'd say the same about part four and five but I needed a little break between them because there are some truly disturbing images in part four. It's a great piece of reporting but they get into it. They show many of the crime scene photos and it's really difficult to look at.

It's downright graphic. You can see inside their throats, muscles and connective tissue, etc. They were not just stabbed; they were BUTCHERED.

Oh, and I LOVED that one detective's estimation of how the attacks went down, based on the blood splatter and wounds to the victims. When he started spinning his theory, I was like, "Oh, come on." But the further he went, the more I believed his exact version of events.

One thing that was a surprise to me was that, I remember it being reported/taken as fact that Ron and Nicole were a couple. This more than implied that they were just casual friends. Also, it seems pretty clear that Ron wasn't supposed to have been there that night. Wrong place, wrong time.

Yea, I noticed this too. When I was a teenager, the narrative I understood was "Ron and Nicole were an item." And then in this doc, it looks like he was just bringing her mom's eyeglasses back to Nicole's house (presumably in the envelope...except they weren't in there, right? So what was in that envelope?).
