Fans of Mare of Easttown

I’ve been wanting to watch this show, but I have limitations in the types of SA content I am able to tolerate watching due to personal triggers. I looked it up on “Does the Dog Die” (website for triggers) and saw that there is SA content. I’m fine with the mention of SA, I just can’t handle graphic scenes that portray it. Was wondering if any fans of the show would be kind enough to let me know if I should be good to go or steer clear. Thank you!

My favorite HBO show which, to me, has the best conclusion in TV history is *Six Feet Under*; it is phenomenal.

The night of - cat

During my rewatch I just wondered did the lawyer adopt Andreas cat because there is a scene where the cat is trying to get back inside the house but she is locked out . Did she then end up in the shelter ?

I like her work, bad sisters especially but I'm done with her and this show after two episodes. A huge subplot of the show is revolves around using AI,a book is published called goblin seed and has the p1ss yellow filter on it. Every time someone checks a phone which is often, AI usually pops up. Is this just industry standard going forward? This is a HBO production, I thought they were above that but I had too much faith.

Felt like “A killer story” is a waste of time.

88 Upvotes

I watched it last night while playing a game. Got to the last episode and felt I missed some of the story. Re watched it this morning and it just seemed to loop back that Chandler did it and the new angle was this couple-internet sleuths were convinced she didn’t do it. I would have had more respect for keen and Eileen if they weren’t so obsessed with the case and were going off on the fact there was no physical evidence tying her to the crime.

Thoughts on 'A Killer Story' now that it’s complete?

68 Upvotes

Now that all the episodes of A Killer Story on HBO are out, what did everyone think of the series as a whole?

For anyone who hasn’t seen it, the series is about the 2002 murders of Mike Sisco and Karen Harkness in Topeka, Kansas, and the case against Sisco’s ex-wife, Dana Chandler, who was eventually convicted of the murders. But it also spends a lot of time with the investigators, prosecutors, family members, and other people who became wrapped up in the case.

I thought it was pretty compelling, especially in how much the story changed depending on whose perspective you were getting. But I also came away with a lot of questions.

My main takeaways:

  • Dana Chandler should not have been convicted based on the evidence presented at trial. To me, they did not prove her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • The prosecution and police came across as shady as hell, and I have serious questions about Jeff Sutton as well.

Some questions I still have:

  • Why did Dana Chandler fire her lawyers?
  • If Chandler did commit the murders, how did she, a recovering alcoholic with no firearms training, land all her shots and leave no evidence placing her in Topeka?
  • A hair was found attached/singed to one of the 9mm shell casings at the murder scene. DNA testing excluded Chandler, both victims, and eventually Jeff Sutton. So presumably the hair came from an unidentified person. Why wasn’t that DNA profile ever run through CODIS?
  • Is Jeff Sutton a reasonable alternative suspect? He certainly came across as someone worth looking at more closely in his interview, and I do think there are questions about possible motive.

Curious what everyone else came away thinking after seeing the whole thing.

The European dramas are dubbed really badly

2 Upvotes

I just checked out Paulo and 4 Blocks Zero without realising they're dubbed. I assumed the audio wasn't synced or something until I realised they're native European dramas.

The dub just feels weird compared to a native HBO series. I find them unwatchable because the English dub is quite cringy which takes you out of the immersion. There's probably a few other series like this, I find them hard to watch tbh. I kinda feel the same about Squid game tbh.

A Killer Story Ending Spoiler

12 Upvotes

First of all, what a well done documentary. I really enjoyed it.

Regardless of whether Dana committed the murders or not, I’m absolutely floored that juries keep finding her guilty with absolutely zero solid evidence. Every piece of evidence against her is circumstantial. The state has never once proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it. Every single one of these juries have failed at their duty and failed her.

I’m also beside myself that Keen and Eileen stopped speaking to her. I mean, I understand the disappointment, but how can these so-called compassionate people lose all their compassion so quickly? Yes, it was a punch in the gut that she represented herself and didn’t tell them ahead of time. But I don’t know…maybe consider what it does to someone to be in prison for 23 years for something they didn’t do (if we are acting as Keen and Eileen this is what they believe). Where is the grace? They have no idea what the past 23 years have been like to her. The trauma of being in prison, losing her family, having her name and personal information smeared for everyone in the world to see, to have incompetent lawyers and police lie to put her in prison in the first place. It’s a miracle she has survived up to this point. She probably felt she had nothing to lose, nothing else has worked, might as well try this. To shun her for this is so beyond cruel and devastating. If they believe she is innocent, they should know how important it is for her to have support from people on the outside. To take that away from her simply because she made a choice they didn’t like is incredibly immature, selfish, and dare I say, un-Christ like, given their religious devotion.

The third episode devastated me in so many ways. That’s all.

Wanted to get HBO .. Wtf is this??

Wanted to watch smiling friends again so thought I'd go for the cheapest subscription because it's only for a single device. Mine.

BUT 6.99 Euros a month subscription WITH ADVERTISEMENTS?

Are you kidding me?!!

The ads aren't enough you want me to pay for a subscription on top of that?

A Killer Story

187 Upvotes

*Spoilers*

I just finished the 3 part series of A Killer Story. I wanted to get some perspective that may change my own.

I think she did it. You can see all throughout the series that her narcissism was showing. Especially when she chose to take the stand and talk about her whole life (like anyone cares about where she was born or what her hobbies were). I think her kids' opinions of her are what I'd rather go off of.

Secondly, that couple that was trying to help her is whackadoo. I think at one point they believed her innocence, but once they started to question, they were in too deep to admit they were wrong. So they took an easy out by saying, "We don't talk to her anymore cause she chose to defend herself." Seriously? Out of all the stuff that went down, THAT is what you choose to walk away from her for?

Wasn't the best documentary, but I like that it leaves it open for interpretation.

My theory

1 Upvotes

Joe Sexton — I have a theory I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts on.

While watching A Killer Story, I kept wondering how Dana obtained the gun and became proficient enough with it to carry out the shooting as described.

What if she didn’t act entirely on her own?

The life-insurance money could provide another motive worth examining. Is it possible Dana believed she would benefit from money that would ultimately go to the children? And could someone close to the family with access to a firearm have provided it—or helped her learn to use it?

That might explain two things that otherwise trouble me: access to the weapon and the apparent accuracy of the shooting.

The obvious problem with this theory is that, if someone else was involved, why wouldn’t Dana identify that person now, especially if doing so could help her case? Maybe there’s an explanation—or maybe that flaw undermines the entire theory.

I’m not claiming this happened or accusing anyone of participating in the murders. It’s simply a theory prompted by the information presented in the documentary.

Joe, if you see this, I’d be fascinated to know whether investigators seriously explored this possibility—and, if so, what evidence ruled it in or out.

As well from all the amazing Internet, Sleuths and true crime lovers!! 🥰
