Heather’s Review:
I’ve been following the story of Michael and Kathleen Peterson for a while now. I watched the documentary on Netflix first and was hopeful that this series would help shine some light on the situations we didn’t get to see in the documentary. While I did enjoy this limited series, I found the jumping from year to year confusing. Sometimes I had to rewind to figure out what year it was. I miss shows being chronological. I found this one hard to follow because of that.
I give The Staircase on HBO Max 3.5 out of 5 stars.
