Your Guide to ‘The Staircase’ on Netflix &#8211; The Michael Peterson Murder Trial Story

One of the biggest controversial true-crime stories, The Staircase, has been
told many times before through novels and movies. It is a 2004 French television
miniseries by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade which explores the trial of a husband,
convicted of murdering his wife Kathleen.

Michael Peterson’s case climbed the stairs of controversy when the government
has given permission to the camera crews in the courtroom. In
2012, Lestrade again developed a two-hour sequel on the case. Later, Netflix
develops another three episodes in 2018. After that, the streaming giant added
all the 13 episodes together as one television series.

The show has scored 94% from critics and 83% from the audience in Rotten
Tomatoes [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_staircase/s01]. The London
Evening Standard claims

“At its core, there is an extraordinary study of the character of a man, Michael
Peterson, a storyteller caught up in his own drama, playing along.”
