Making A Murderer lawyer Dean Strang has spoken out in defense of Ray D’Arcy after his Saturday Night Show interview was heavily criticised.
Viewers claimed the interview was boring, awkward and that Ray asked questions that everyone already knew the answer to.
I’m disappointed wit that… Those who saw the doc have heard nothin new and he just ruined it on those who haven’t seen it #raydarcyshow

Now, Dean has spoken out about the interview and stuck up for Ray, saying that the criticism is “unfair”.
He told the Irish Daily Star:
“His interview far exceeded in depth and thoughtfulness of almost all of the national US media outlets.
“Maybe that sounds like I am damning by faint praise, but I don’t mean to do that.
“It simply is true – his interview was more serious and lengthy than most of those I have seen or in which I have participated in here.
“Even with his more relaxed format, Mr D’Arcy was prepared. He treated me with great courtesy.
“Most importantly, he consciously tried to make the subject accessible to people who have not seen the film, which is most people.
“That seemed to me a quite defensible choice for someone who hosts a nationwide, popular chat show.
“Even if they had not heard of Netflix, he wanted to include all of his viewers so that they might get something from the interview.”
Strang also added that he would like to take D’Arcy for a “pint or two” the next time he’s in Dublin.
We couldn’t love this man anymore.
