SeRIAL Discussion

Discussion questions episode 1 When Jay is introduced, how is he portrayed? Do the Serial producers make him seem guilty? If so? How? How can Adnan be convicted if the only evidence against him is Jay's story?  Why is it so important for Sarah to find and talk to Asia? If Asia has seen Adnan on the day of Hae's murder, at the time when they say that Adnan was killing Hae, how can he be convicted? Do you think Adnan is guilty, why? Why not? 

Discussion questions episode 2 Do you think it was ok for Adnan’s parents to act the way they did? Why/why not? What reasons for murder can be heard in the episodes? Why are they valid reasons? Do you think Adnan was upset over the breakup or if his reputation as a player is true, that the relationship wasn’t a big del to him? Can you just let go of feelings for someone you’ve been together with for 8 months. Why do you think the prosecutor was so fixed to the idea that Adnan was guilty? Is Adnan guilty? Why? Why not? How sure are you? Give a per cent.
