The chill that ran down my spine stemmed from the sense that a convicted murderer’s eyes were locked on me.
The forthcoming sixth episode of the AppleTV+ documentary “The Dynasty: New England Patriots” wastes no time diving into the dichotomy of Hernandez, who “snookered” team owner Robert Kraft with father-son-like kisses on the cheek but scared teammates long before he was found guilty of killing Odin Lloyd in 2013 and accused (found not guilty) of two other murders.
The opening scene shows Hernandez at a casual photo shoot, laughing at instructions to “show a lot of attitude” before he folds his arms and stares straight into the camera, holding a tough-guy pose that can’t help but be interpreted differently now than how it was originally intended.
