Firstly, I did enjoy the documentary and teared up more than once! But I watched it with my brother who'd already seen the Netflix show and had already determined based on the series that Lyle had been lying about the abuse he endured and that the crying had been fake.

He felt that the snippet of Lyle talking about how he could lie convincingly (one of the recordings from Norma) could be a sign that the Netflix adaptation has been correct and that he had lied about the abuse. Obviously that is incorrect and I don't understand his perspective at all; you can literally feel Lyle's pain...It's a stark contrast from the representation of the testimony on Netflix. But I just think they could've given more context surrounding this because someone unfamiliar with the case may listen to that small recording snippet and make a judgment when another recording confirms that Lyle's testimony had been genuine about the abuse. I also don't see the point including the stuff about Norma over other important elements. It'd have been good to hear much more about Lyle's abuse and mental frame, e.g more insight from Jon Conte (or clips from Jon's testimony). I feel like from the experts (in this documentary), we heard much more about Erik's mental frame of mind surrounding the abuse.

I also don't understand why they didn't include anything about Andy and Menudo. I'm wondering if it's because of their Habeas corpus somehow.
