Interesting subject, too long!

The staircase is a documentary on the story of Michael Peterson as he is put on trial for the alleged murder of his wife. The documentary takes you basically from day 1 through the entire trial, appeal, and final plea bargain. The subject matter is interesting, especially the main trial. But it's just way too long, it focuses on trivial conversations and interviews. The whole thing could have been streamlined into fewer episodes. I also felt it was one sided, mostly because all the film comes from the family.

score 5/10
