'Making a Murderer' lawyer Dean Strang to host true-crime docuseries
LOS ANGELES -- Let's face it, Making a Murderer wasn't the most binge-able true-crime anthology of the decade just because Steven Avery was so obviously (insert your verdict here).
It had a lot to do with these two "heartthrobs." Right guys?
Now Dean Strang (the one on the right, sitting on the couch), easily the most reluctant normcore sex symbol since Walter White, is getting his own show.

Strang, whose work in court on the Avery case (and in front of the cameras for the Netflix docuseries that came out late last year) will host Dean Strang: Road to Justice, an episodic docuseries that, according to the Thursday release from independent production company Covert Media, will adopt "a similar vérité style to Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown."
The eight-part first season will see Strang looking into "landmark legal cases that demonstrate major flaws in the criminal justice system."
Strang and Jerry Buting, his co-counsel on the Avery case, are in the midst of a 26-city speaking tour across the U.S.
No word yet on where the new show would air -- but Netflix, which took a chance on Making a Murderer after it was rejected just about everywhere else, would have to be a prime suspect.
