Netflix's "Making a Murderer" premiered in 2015 and captured viewers' attention with its real-life story of Avery, who served nearly two decades in prison after being wrongfully convicted of sexual assault and attempted murder. He was released in 2003 and exonerated, only to be convicted of murder in another case two years later.
