Overview:
A family’s world turns upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller is arrested for murdering a schoolmate: the charges against their son force them to confront every parent’s worst nightmare. On Netflix.
Have you watched this yet?
Spoiler alerts, maybe?
At first, I didn’t think the kid did it. I was leaning toward another character. This show plunges the viewer into the modern world of teenagers. I didn’t know there is a whole emoji language; that truly, I want no part of. That a peach really isn’t a peach.
This show has started a long overdue conversation. There have always been bullies in school. Now bullies have a new platform with a wider audience. It is sad, just like in real life, that it takes a tragedy for people to start paying attention.
The one thing I didn’t like was the mom. Not because she was a bad actress. I found her accent very hard to understand. This would have been a good place for subtitles.

I have seen clips, but do not have Netflix so I haven’t watched the whole thing. They shot it in one take, in other words they didn’t shoot a bunch of takes and splice it all together. I think that is amazingly innovative. I really want to watch it. That is a portion of our culture I really have no firsthand connection to.

Nor do I. There have always been bullies. Now they just have a bigger platform.
I don’t think I knew that it was shot all in one take. They did a great job. Hope you get to watch it someday.

It was interesting, but I didn’t like the ending. They could’ve done a better job.

I didn’t like the ending either. It left me with questions.
