Because it's not a well known case nowadays and the murderer was (mind-blowingly) equitted. She's been out there waiting for things to blow over so she can live a normal life. It started to blow over so it was time for a reminder.
That being said, it was a solid slow burner. Acting was great, I started watching it for Melanie Lynskey cuz she's wonderful, and was surprised that Jessica Biel was the lead I didn't recognize her in the ads!
I was like omg I haven't seen her since 7th heaven and Blade lol she outdid herself here, can't wait to see more of her!
My main complement is to the property and set designers, and wardrobe stood out for me they did an amazing job!! Outstanding capture of the time period I hope they get recognized for it. My grandma has the exact same wavy looking drinking glasses from the 70s!! (I think it was shown at the beginning of ep4)
Since I didn't know the case, I looked it up right away, and have the Texasmonthly article queued up ready to read. I'm left with wanting to know how on earth she wasn't convicted, old forensic incapabilities? Horrible prosecution? Just a perfect storm of events that couldn't prove without a shadow of doubt in court? It's infuriating.
