LOS ANGELES — Netflix is made for bingeing, but filmmaker Ava DuVernay thinks that audiences should watch her Central Park Five miniseries “When They See Us ” at their own pace. And I think that’s what this offering is. Hopefully people will engage with it where and when they want.”The storytelling itself is intended to be a little unconventional, even for people immersed in true crime stories. DuVernay wanted to blend aspects of the “crime drama” and the “family drama” genres to “really dig into truth and justice.”“A lot of the crime dramas deal with the sensational element. Can we apply that genre of the crime drama that’s become so popular now and in the limited series format and apply that to a case that has real world stakes even now?” DuVernay said.
