I Watched Unknown Number On Netflix And The Craziest Part Of The Doc Is Something No One Is Talking About
Netflix is always good for a few of these a year, a documentary no one has any idea is coming or for most people no idea of what the story was or that it was a big deal when it happened. That was Unknown Number on Netflix. Absolutely no idea what this story was, and then everybody raved about it as a can't miss show, and it becomes a must watch. John Rich blogged about it here:
I finally fired it up during the late night this past week and the one take away I had was there were so many crazy elements of this doc, but one of which (for my money the craziest) is one absolutely no one is talking about.
Listen there is 10000 elements of this doc that are just batshit crazy. The twist of who is guilty, the amount of time, effort and countless messages sent, the mental warfare, the lying etc. Just an INSANE watch. Truthfully insane. But the one thing no one is talking about is the layout of this family's living room.
I sent this in a few group chats to make sure it wasn't a mirror image or I was screwing something up and there is still a chance I am screwing this up, but I am pretty sure this is how their living room is laid out and I cannot fathom it. How on earth can these people justify that half of the couch is UNDERNEATH the tv? Who watches TV like that? How did the cops walk into the house and not immediately stop investigating what they came for and say "sorry actually we need to discuss this couch set up… what's the deal here?" Maybe it's just me because couch set ups and tv's matter so much to daily but anyone EVER setting their couch up like this and not having it drive them insane is a certified lunatic. No wonder this family had so many issues.
