Casey Anthony: An American Murder Mystery (2017)\

As crime reporter Jane Velez-Mitchell says in this three-part series, Casey Anthony became the Trial of the Centry and she also became the most hated woman in America. She was brought to trial for the murder of her daughter and the pre-trial and trial would get some very heated debates across America.

As a documentary this series works extremely well and especially if you're not familiar with the story. I followed the story very closely when it was happening so I was familiar with everything told here but I give the filmmakers credit for tellin the story in such a good way. The reason people familiar with the case will want to watch this is because there are some new interviews with the people involved in the case from the Judge to a juror to some of the prosecution. The big new interviews are with George and Cindy Anthony.

Getting to hear from the grandparents is certainly the highlight of this series since they get to share their views on their daughter, the trial and what has happened since the trial. IN all honesty, I wish the series would have focused more on them instead of simply telling the events of what happened. Again, I'd say most people are already familiar with that so the chance of getting more of the interviews would have helped.

With that said, this is still a highly entertaining series that's certainly worth watching.
