There is a genuine frenzy around Michael, the biopic of the King of Pop, and it is still alive on the global box office despite releasing weeks ago. The film rekindled an interest in Michael Jackson’s and his illustrious career, introducing a whole new generation to his music. But amidst the hysteria, there has been the arrival of an entirely different piece of content on the pop icon with a different perspective on the legend’s life. The latest arrival on Netflix, Michael Jackson: The Verdict, aims to sober up the high of the biopic and present the audience with a grounded retelling of the most controversial aspect of the late pop star’s life.

However, the real question is: does it deliver on its promise, and is it worth your time? Let us find out.

Michael Jackson: The Verdict is a thorough recounting of Jackson's 2005 criminal trial, which may be found on Netflix. Due to inadequate evidence, the singer was ultimately found not guilty on all counts. Unfortunately, he passed away four years later. Interviews with journalists, lawyers, and members of Jackson's close circle are included in The Verdict. Sheriff's footage of Arvizo's interview with police and officers storming Jackson's California house at Neverland Ranch is also included.

Although the documentary does not give a definitive conclusion on the question that everyone has been asking - Did he do it? But it leaves it to the viewers, after giving them every possible piece of data on the case, to decide which side they want to jump on. The docuseries is thorough and clinical in that regard, which makes it a crucial watch if you are eager to know about all the sides of the story.

Michael Jackson Netflix Documentary Trailer Big Reveals: Key Takeaways From The Verdict

Netflix’s Michael Jackson: The Verdict seems to be the polar opposite of the Michael biopic in the kinds of questions it is trying to pose.

While it has been years since the charges were dropped, the existence of this documentary alone and its inclusion of some new evidence suggest some doubts about the singer's innocence. It almost seems like a blatant rejection of both the ongoing popularity of Jackson's songs and reputation, as well as that adoring, joyous biopic.    

It becomes obvious that neither the documentary The Verdict nor the movie Michael will influence anyone. But the former becomes important because it asks some tough questions and puts forth some hard-hitting evidence that points to a truth that many would not like. Anyhow, if anything, The Verdict on Netflix has definitely disrupted Michael’s hype train a bit.
