By floating reckless theories about Aaron Hernandez, Netflix’s true-crime series veers toward the irresponsible. williamfleitch writes
Photo: Netflix It’s the eternal battle for any fan of true crime: What is our motivation for being attracted to the genre in the first place? We want to think of the victims and their families first, and we are horrified by the crimes committed against them, but in many ways, it is human nature to spend more mental and emotional energy trying to figure out the madmen behind the crimes.
Part of the problem is that this isn’t really a traditional true-crime story. After all, Hernandez was a notoriously terrible criminal: He committed crimes impulsively and sloppily, he left circumstantial evidence everywhere. He showed up in surveillance footage right before his crimes, and he didn’t do anything right as a criminal mastermind other than get rid of the murder weapon. There is no real mystery here.
The series is on its most perilous terrain when it delves into Hernandez’s sexuality: An old football teammate claims they had a secret sexual relationship back in high school, which would be complicated and confusing for anyone but perhaps downright paralyzing for a superstar athlete in the hypermasculine world of football.
