Where to start with The Staircase

Watch the documentary, all thirteen, in order. They are numbered as one continuous run even though they were made in three goes fourteen years apart, and the later ones only make sense after the earlier ones. The 2022 drama with Colin Firth is a separate production telling the same story with actors, and it is optional in both directions.

  1. 1
    The documentary, all thirteen The Staircase

    Eight from 2004, two from 2013 and three from 2018, numbered one to thirteen with no season break in any source.

  2. 2
    The 2022 drama The Staircase

    Eight episodes on HBO, a dramatisation rather than a documentary. It covers the same case and adds a perspective on the filmmakers themselves.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
