Miniseries are the best of both worlds. Longer than a film, they allow us to immerse ourselves for a few hours in a new universe and characters we grow fond of (or hate). But their format remains short and above all allows you to do so overcome unbearable suspense. To stay on topic My little reindeerwe just maintained the most breathless.
An almost normal family
The Sandells are a very normal family: Adam is a priest, Ulrika is a lawyer and their daughter Stella is 19 years old. They live a perfect life in a residential suburb of Lund. But one day, everything changes when Stella is accused of killing her boyfriend and thrown into prison. Disconcerted, her parents don’t know what to do. What happened ?

In their eyes: one of the worst legal cases in the United States
Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on Google, In their eyes Netflix subscribers rebelled and shocked. There is no doubt about the quality of the program, given that it is signed by Aba DuVernay, an African-American filmmaker who directed in particular the excellent documentary The 13thalso available on Netflix.
Alone four episodes, the miniseries returns to one of the emblematic cases of systemic racism in the United States. In New York, in 1989, a white woman is left for dead after being raped in Central Park. The police immediately charged 5 young black and Hispanic men present near the scene of the attack. The rules governing an investigation are completely violated and the young people are arrested, without a lawyer, without DNA, without testimonies and in the absence of their parents. They received 6 to 13 years in prison…until the truth came out years later.

She didn’t suspect that they would question her word given the absence of traces left by the attacker at the crime scene. One thing led to another and the police put pressure on the victim until she withdrew the complaint. From that moment on, the reaction will be violent and everyone around Marie, from her friends to her family to her colleagues, will reject her.
But the series doesn’t stop there, and takes the form of a hunt that lasts several years…
