What major changes did Netflix ask of the edit post viewings (how many viewings)?

How do you make true crime without feeling like you're 'exploiting' the story? (I'm not saying you are!)

Did the family or any of the close friends who were involved in the story ask for any changes post-viewing? Or, did they make specific requests - use this, don't use this... I love how candid the texts are but I wondered if some of them might have provoked a discussion about usage. Thank you for this, it's so interesting to hear about a film from multiple perspectives!

The film maintained an impactful style without being grubby (as is the tendency with some true crime docs). I wonder how you set about achieving this powerful creative style? And what were the three key factors you kept at the forefront of your mind when making what was an incredibly harrowing and distressing story?

Q for Jenny. Amazing film. It's one of sustained tension. it was clearly a tense narrative, but what credible creative / editorial techniques did you employ to bring that out? For example, there was a kind of narrative tight rope - everything increasingly pointed to Chris, yet we, as the audience, don't want to believe he was capable of that. The back stories were intriguing, adding so much to the ongoing investigation, there were also some gob-smacking late reveals.
