REVIEW. ‘The Staircase’: “An absolute must-see if you want to be pressed firmly against the back of your armchair”

On the fateful evening in December 2001, the Peterson couple drank wine and watched the rental movie “America’s Sweethearts.” They refilled their glasses and played cards at the pool, whereupon Kathleen went in and was found some time later in a pool of blood at the bottom of a staircase in their villa. What happened to Kathleen Peterson in the crucial minutes before her death remains a mystery to this day that neither the latest HBO Max drama series “The Staircase” on Streamz can answer. But is that also necessary to suck your skin and hair into this story? Evelien Delgouffe will find out for you in our Viewing Guide.
