Trial by Media

Out of all the times the press has influenced such an event, Trial by Media on Netflix looks at some of the biggest examples of coverage getting out of hand and the consequences of having extensive media coverage on such a trying ordeal.
The striking true-crime documentary series, which is executive produced by two-time Academy Award winner George Clooney, contains six interesting entries jam-packed with archive footage and proficient interviews that cover some prime examples of famous court cases affected by the media’s attention. Some of these many endeavors covered in the well-crafted show include the case of Cheryl Araujo, the trial of Rod Blagojevich, the killing of an unarmed Amadou Diallo by means of 41 bullets courtesy of the NYPD, and more.
Each iteration of Trial By Media is a stimulating experience and offers up some engaging insight. The episodes contain runtimes between fifty-seven and one hundred and four minutes in length.
In addition, the Netflix series has exceptional scores on Rotten Tomatoes and will most assuredly keep viewers that appreciate true-crime documentary programs enthralled from start to finish.
