There’s something about a real-life mystery that captures the public’s attention, and the recent success of shows like Making A Murderer and The Jinx are proof of that.
Make sure you’ve watched both of those, they really are top notch.
Now Netflix has a new show headed our way, and it looks like it’s going to be another cliffhanger.
Deadspin are certainly fans:
In this powerful footage that is sure to grab the same audience from Making a Murderer, the series is about the unsolved murder 40 to 45 years ago of a compassionate nun named Sister Cathy in Baltimore and the possible reasons for her death and the (probable) cover-up.
Through interviews with dozens of friends, relatives, journalists, government officials and Baltimore citizens determined to uncover the truth, director Ryan White (Serena, The Case Against 8) pieces together a story that goes beyond the death of a beloved Catholic schoolteacher to encompass clergy abuse, repressed memories and government and religious institutions that he says “at best, dropped the ball over the last 45 years – and, at worst, covered it up.”
The Church and a cover-up – wow, shocked.
May 19, bring on the binge.
