‘Making A Murderer’ series makers expected backlash

The team behind the hit Netflix series Making A Murderer have said they expected a backlash about the documentary in the media.

During the Television Critics Association press tour, Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos responded to the interest the 10-part series has created on both sides of the Atlantic.

The series focuses on the case of Steven Avery, who was prosecuted in 2005 for the death of photographer Teresa Halbach. “The media are demonising this man in order to prove his guilt,” Ricciardi said.
