The rest of the world has already seen it. Its worth the hype.
Yes, it's worth the hype.

Here's the deal: Your life is kind of useless at the moment. You have a couple things you could do tonight, but you're not really feeling them. CANCEL EVERYTHING. Watch Making a Murderer. It's on Netflix. Maybe it will change the world, maybe it won't, but it's certainly going to change how we think about movies, journalism, and "content."

I watched the first couple episodes on Christmas Eve at a friend's house, and then all our Christmas plans went out the window. We spent the next day, Christmas day, glued to the TV, finishing it. I dare you to watch the first four episodes and then have the desire to do anything else; you won't. After the first four episodes, nothing else matters except finishing all 10. Someone else came over late in the day for Christmas dinner. He was ignored. Christmas was nothing but eating ham and greens and cranberry bread pudding and watching hour after hour of Making a Murderer, and then talking about Making a Murderer, which was kind of irritating with someone in the room who hadn't seen the whole thing. You don't want to be that guy.

Ever since, I have wanted to talk about it with everyone I see, but neither Rich Smith nor Charles Mudede, my only coworkers in the office this week, have seen it. (They're currently engaged in a conversation about Star Warzzzzzzzzzz.) So I'm turning to you, Sloggers. If you're behind or your haven't started yet, well, you have all night. Tomorrow on Slog we have some discussing to do.
