Anything Toni collette touches I’m all in for. Love her.

[courageousmisfits]

OMG. Colin Firth has nailed Peterson's voice. Everything here points to a great series.

[JacobInNormalLand]

I'll watch it for the cast and because it's an interesting/frustrating case, but if you haven't watched the documentary of the same name YOU ARE MISSING YOU. Truly one of the best I've ever seen. I finished all 9 hours of it in a day and half. But Firth REALLY has his voice down, damn. Owl Theory discussion incoming (again).

[forgivemylaughter]

The casting is unbelievable. Uncanny selection of actors for the real life characters. 🦉

[Evergreenvic]

The documentary was really gripping so high expectations for this show to be fantastic!

[euchrideucrow]

The documentary was astonishing so I’m super excited for this. The cast list just serves to heighten that. Marvellous!

[lukeobrien]

This looks so good. And you’re giving me Toni Collette???? Yes! I’m in.

[sandycastillo]

The moment I saw the title I KNEW exactly what it was going to be about!…Toni and Colin are amazing actors so I’ll be watching!

[oliviagriffin]

I remember when “The Staircase”, as in, the Netflix documentary, came out and talking about it in my freshman criminal justice classes. Now I’m a senior; I’m very excited to see the case being re-examined in this portrayal and their interpretation of it.

I’m genuinely starting to believe Toni Collette is Tara, from United States of Tara, cause how many of her are there that shes on multiple amazing projects!!! Like this woman deserves all the awards, she’s WORKING! And her catalog is ELITE. How does she have the time/energy to be so amazing and film all these shows, ugh, I love her so much lol

[cmk]

Toni Collette! I’m sold. I enjoyed the documentary on Netflix and this looks really good.

[noratroitino]

The living legend of cinema that is Juliette Binoche acting in a series!!!! Can't wait to see it!

[shaynwalker]

Has Colin ever done an American accent before? Sounds good!

[TheTurkaderr]

Omg Parker Posey was born to play that role !! I adore her!! And her and Toni reunited ( though in no scenes together sadly ) after appearing together in Clockwatchers years ago. I am so excited for this !!

[Mrcrarfter]

Everyone talking about Colon and Toni, but I’m excited for Juliette Binoche!!

[clemmyw.]

My first instant reaction when i saw the thumbnail alone was "oh..wow..Toni Collette"

She delivered the roles she was assigned with almost perfectly, i always forgot that she was an actress.

[Aluradevries]

I absolutely love the documentary. I am ready for this one! Colin's impression is also dead on for Michael peterson. Michael just wish he was half as good looking as Colin Firth.

[Carol-pcmf]

He really improved his accent! I couldn't even tell it was him!🥰

[shadowlainx]

Once I saw Toni Collette, I already thought, "I'm in!." I just finished watching her on Netflix, now I'll bounce to HBO

[coltonkissock]

My heart goes out to Caitlin Atwater ... I really hope they do right by her and her mother in this.
