Read our privacy policy Steven Avery, the focus of Netflix’s hit Making a Murderer series, has been banned from watching the series of his own case while in prison. During the half-hour panel organised by Netflix, Ms Riccardi said: “Steven does not have access to the series… His request was denied.” According to entertainment news site Decider, the filmmakers revealed they have had several conversations with Avery since the premiere of Making a Murderer, and may use the recordings for future episodes. Decider quoted one of the filmmakers as saying: “I can’t say why Jodi is saying what she’s saying today but nine years ago what she was saying was an accurate portrayal.” Ms Demos and Ms Riccardi also responded to scepticism about the series. “ Avery’s case offers a window into the system.” “We are trying to urge people to think more deeply about what the series is about… and making sure our justice system is delivering verdicts we can rely on."
