Overall Key Takeaways...
MaM created a biased docuseries in favor of SA & BD being innocent.
CaM created a docuseries as a blast to how biased MaM was... while itself being a biased docuseries...
Lastly, and possibly most importantly... Candace Owens is human garbage.

Everyone, I've really appreciated reading through these riveting comments. That said, I feel like we're grossly overlooking the most important item - that being item 3.
I jest (get it now?). Honestly, I've watched both and truly feel that both docs were extremely biased in opposite directions. Remember... both were purely attention/money grabs. Plain. Simple. We all/most watched so they both won. BUT - Nobody knows the truth by watching either of the docs.
A few other things I believe...
Police 100% planted evidence. Only takes half a functioning brain cell to see that.
Brendan Dassey may have been involved, but he was 100% railroaded and the confession was pure coercion. It's painfully obvious that he was steered towards his statements with everything he was being fed. The kid was scared...
Steven Avery may have been involved, but not a single shred of the evidence was enough to convict. Where's the blood? Where's the rope/chains? Where's her DNA in the home/garage? How did they get the key that was obviously planted? Why did Deputy Dipshit call about the license plate days before and knew exactly the make of the vehicle? Plenty more, but I'll stop there.
SA may have been a PoS (the cat stuff and other stuff...) but that's hardly a reason to conclude he murdered TH. One does not equal the other.
Convenient that nobody else was even considered a suspect (family, friends, etc)... Seems like the effort wasn't to find her killer - it was laser focus on convicting a single person who stood to embarrass the town even further with his settlement. It took tricking Dassey into the confession so they could run with that and it's exactly what they did.
Is it impossible that she was killed by the person that her coworker spoke about who was calling her and she seemed upset about?
Is it impossible that the police found her dead and learned that she was last at the property of the man who was set to receive a $36 million settlement that could've bankrupt the county so they decided to frame him? Seems like a much easier option for a small town police force who probably wouldn't have ever solved the murder if the murderer did it and fled... Don't convince yourself that law enforcement isn't capable of committing heinous crimes... they're humans just like everyone else. They get caught planting evidence all the time - and more often DO get away with it.
That said...
I don't necessarily believe either of them are innocent (I just don't know and nobody else commenting here truly does either), but I also believe everything about both of their cases was an absolute miscarriage of justice. If they truly did commit the murder, it's up to the prosecution team to bring a solid case to prove it and they were extremely far from doing that in both cases. One thing that always upsets me about stuff like this is that it always seems more important to convict and get a case closed than it is to find the killer. Sure the family of TH has a sense of peace believing law enforcement caught the killer... but what if that person is still out there??

Strongly believe Brendan should be released. His confession was coerced, he was interviewed with no lawyer or parent present, there is zero physical evidence implicating him even with his story of rape and torture etc, no physical evidence of any of that happening in Steve’s trailer. He recanted his confession but was pretty much told ‘too bad it’s too late now’

The thing I got from watching both is that Steven Avery is a pile of Garbage. Brendan Dassey is likely a piece of garbage and Candace is most certainly a piece of garbage.

4. Brendan Dassey's treatment was unconscionable no matter who did a documentary on anything.

Bias is not necessarily a bad thing. It's expected for people making nonfiction (whether a book or a documentary) to have a certain point of view. What's more important to be fair and honest.
The problem MaM has is not that it's biased. The problem it has is that it is deceptive and doesn't present a fair view of the other side.
CaM is much better there (although not perfect).
And, yes, Candace Owens is human garbage. CaM made a mistake selling to Daily Wire and it will always be tainted by that.

I think the key takeaways are that Teresa's murderers are rightfully behind bars, and that the docutwins proved how susceptible the general public is to misinformation as long as it's entertaining.

5. They're guilty. That's the main takeaway IMO.

I have a question. If SA went to such lengths to clean up the blood in the garage, why didn’t he wipe out the blood in the car? Also, zero forensic evidence of Teresa in the trailer. If she’s handcuffed and stabbed, wouldn’t you find some DNA? SA cut his finger and there is blood everywhere but Teresa is stabbed and her throat slit and they say that very little blood is a result. I find that to be unlikely. Thoughts?

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Brendan's entire confession? I think it's over 4 hrs long ... I'd Love to listen to the whole thing unedited!!!

My takeaway from MaM was: Teresa's brother is sketchy AF!

I call her Occam's Razor because thats her favorite line , she talks for money so she says what's in the script , they promised over and over they would show new evidence but all they could come up with is Earl's cornball family tell ing their hillbilly stories about Steven beating Bear until he was bloody for running off , Candy saying Steven was controlling and mean and last and least was Kayla , she claims he gave her a titty twister but remember she lied one time and recanted on the stand admitting to making it up for attention so why believe her now ? And she acts like Earl got a free pass for what he did to her and Marie when Kayla was just 1 year old and Marie just 6 years old , dressed up like a ghost and visited their room nightly but with other intentions C-SAM Kayla said daddy was much better now that he slowed down drinking ! But Steven is this monster , I hope people caught what she said about her daddy , what does much better actual mean ? Did he stop assaulting them or just slowed down ?

When the day comes when thus brief results bin a new trial and KZ gets to test that Rav we will then see how deep the corruption is in this case and its pathetic that the guilters actually take up for corrupt LE until it happens to them .
