Netflix's crime documentary based on true people is based on the true case of a novelist who killed his wife in 2001, which caused a sensation in the United States. MTC score 92, IMDb score 8.2, Rotten Tomatoes freshness 88%. In 2001, Kathleen, the wife of crime novelist Michael Peterson, was found dead under the stairs of her home. At that time, Michael saw the situation and immediately called the police. But police found that Kathleen's death and injuries were not injuries from falling under the stairs, and that Michael was the only one at home at the time. Prosecutors also found that Peterson had attended the funeral of a family friend 20 years earlier, and that the cause of her death was the same as Kathleen's, which was at the bottom of the stairs. So Michael Peterson was accused of being Kathleen's killer. The case of "novelist killing his wife" caused a sensation. In 2003, Michael Peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife. But the trial was highly controversial. Later, the Michael Peterson murder case was retried, and the clues became more and more complicated. Prosecutors found that Michael Peterson was actually bisexual. They had tried to list this point as one of the possible motives for the killing, but they couldn't find any more clues. Michael also claimed that his wife knew she was bisexual. So the motive for the murder was lost. To this day, many people are unsure whether Michael Peterson had anything to do with the death of his wife.
