Review: The popular 'Serial' podcast inspired this four part HBO docu-series premiering March 10, and make no mistake: The title of this production should be “The Case for Adnan Syed’s Innocence.”
Adnan Syed is serving a life term for the murder of ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. HBO's docuseries"The Case Against Adnan Syed" revisits the story that became a national obsession with the"Serial" podcast.
There’s plenty of overlap with the podcast in this densely packed production by documentarian Amy Berg , but it expands upon the “Serial” narrative with new revelations and deeper dives into the past. It painstakingly scrutinizes the evidence, timelines and testimony surrounding the murder of the Baltimore County high school senior.
Like Netflix’s “Making a Murderer,” this series is poised to inspire a wave of advocacy on Syed’s behalf, which is problematic given that we see only what the show’s creators want us to see. The HBO series does, however, feel more balanced than many of its predecessors. The series take its time establishing who she was, and the deep loss felt by her community after her murder. Otherwise, things move. Avid listeners of “Serial” may find that even they have to pay close attention in order to keep up.
