There was some excess stuff in there for sure, but no matter what, this thing was going to be incredibly lengthy.
There's a lot of context that needed to be explained here, and as far as Barry goes, it was important to understand that, so we could understand him.
It was also important to understand Suzanne, what she went through, and the details surrounding their marriage.
The vast majority of this thing was Barry's own words, and the stunning amount of lies, inconsistencies, and ever changing accounts.
That's super important, as a no-body case is really difficult, especially with no physical evidence.
I may be in the minority here, but the flow mostly felt right to me. I knew where they were going, and what they were trying to show.
