The Staircase

I am trying to be good. Really. The proofing and indexing of Eccentric California is complete, and I will shortly begin proofing the maps. And I have a quiz due. And my head hurts sooooooo much, very likely some kind of allergy thing. So I have a lot to, but the Sundance Channel is trying to stop me.

See, they're showing The Staircase, and in my current state I can't help but be enraptured by it. This eight-part documentary about the Michael Peterson murder trial by the French director Jean Xavier de Lestrade is completely engrossing, largely because of its minutiae and his unprecedented level of access. You want to see what really goes on behind the scenes in a high-profile murder trial? Start watching this and you won't be able to stop.
