Not sure if this should on the "Other Sports" board, so if the mods feel it's more appropriate there, feel free to move.
I watched one of the three episodes, and I have to admit, it was pretty riveting.
Some thoughts:
Both of his parents were messed up. That said, getting away from home and his poor family influences clearly didn't help Hernandez.
His aunt, with whom he was close, was a train wreck too. I don't know why she thought allowing a 16/17 year old to smoke and drink, or subjecting him to criminal influences, was a good idea.
Pats fans...eek. Listening to them chant "Innocent!" as the van carrying Hernandez was entering the courthouse, was cringeworthy, as was the fan who complained that, it "sucked" that even though his last name was Hernandez he could no longer wear the #81 jersey. Also, "Hernandezing"? Really?
The QB's dad was just weird. Not sure why he was given such a wide platform.
Hernandez's fiancee seemed like a b. Listening to the way she talked to him in the jailhouse calls was just sad.
Forgot about this, but Joe Judge was Hernandez's next door neighbor, huh? Interesting...
Also interesting that although a few former Patriots were interviewed for the documentary (Wiggins, O'Callaghan and Bodden), no current Pats were interviewed. And the media footage of interviews of players at the time of the arrest made it clear that the players were told to say nothing of substance.
