THE STAIRCASE
(NETFLIX)
Yes, before the drama mini-series The Staircase, there was the 13-part documentary The Staircase. Or to be more accurate, first there was a 2004 series, made by director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, covering the case of whether writer Michael Peterson killed his wife Kathleen. De Lestrade returned to the story in 2012 and made further episodes, this time for Netflix, who aired all 13 eps in 2018. Intriguingly, de Lestrade is a “character” in the HBO mini-series, played by Vincent Vermignon. But if you haven’t yet caught up with this original “factual” telling of this remarkable saga, you really must.
