In 2015, Netflix looked at the case of Steven Avery in their docuseries Making a Murderer. They explored Avery and how corrupt law enforcement made him quite possibly innocent. The series became one of the streaming giant’s biggest series. Fast forward to now, Candace Owens is on a mission to set the record straight in the DailyWire+ series Convicting a Murderer.

Owens takes us on a ten-episode journey where she sets the record straight by exposing hidden evidence in the murder of Teresa Halbach. The series starts with the first three episodes being available on DailyWire+ on Sept. 8, with weekly episodes until the finale on Oct. 26. Episode 1 will also premiere on X (formerly Twitter) on Sept. 8.

The series begins with a conversation between Steven and Deb while he is in prison talking about how someone called to cover the case while he is about to go on trial. It also shows the truth behind Avery’s younger years and how what was presented to us on Making a Murder wasn’t the truth.

As we saw with Making a Murderer, you can’t help but be sucked right back into the world of Steven Avery and begin to question whether or not Netflix either avoided what was found in their series or purposely left it out to make a story something more than it was. The case differences are front and center for the viewer to bring their own perspective.

One of the wildest things we hear is people talking about upending their entire lives to follow this case. People were obsessed with this case on a level that never had been reached before, which became problematic for their lives. However, as some of these individuals dove deeper and deeper into the Avery family, they started to unpack things about the inaccuracies of the stories within the Netflix documentary.

The best part of these three episodes was the rolling out of the facts that Owens promised to share. Throughout the episodes, we see Owens appear, but she wisely lets her research alongside these investigators speak their truth and dissect everything that went down. In these types of shows, you want evidence and details, and that’s what we get. You don’t get just hearsay, but using the evidence found in the court’s findings and people who went through these things.

Overall, Convicting a Murderer’s first three episodes deliver everything that I could’ve wanted and more. It’s easily jumpstarting one of the best docuseries of 2023. One thing, I am keeping an eye on whether they will be able to keep up the pace through seven more episodes because docuseries often overstay their welcome. Regardless, I look forward to watching how viewers react to this series on social media because it should spark one heck of a conversation.
