The show was good, but the book that the Spotlight team from the Boston Globe did was much more in depth. The Netflix special left much of the parents shortcomings out of the story, both of them were a couple of douches.
I’ve only watched the first episode so far, but I thought it was pretty apparent his parents were pretty unsavory.
The gay kid that alleged he used to do gay stiff with Aaron, as well as that guy’s dad, both seem pretty weird and a little too still obsessed with Aaron Hernandez
The audio book they play many of the jailhouse calls between Arron and his mother, she's a real bitch.
In one call she tells him she had to go to his old high school and get all his old awards that were in a display. "They don't want any of them anymore, I had to get them all".
"What, they don't want any of my stuff anymore?"
"Well hell no, they don't want any of it, I had to get all of it".
Now why she felt the need to tell him that? Real loving mother. She could have picked the stuff up and put it in the garage, but she felt the need to call him and stab him in the heart with it.
