Twitter is not impressed with Ray D'Arcy's interview with Making A Murderer's Dean Strang

It has been described as a “wasted opportunity”.

LAST NIGHT, EVERYONE’S favourite defence attorney Dean Strang appeared on The Ray D’Arcy Show to chat about Making A Murderer, that hurling statue and his Irish roots.

To say viewers were excited is an understatement.

Buzzing for this interview #DeanStrang

How sad is my life that watching Dean Strang is the most exciting Saturday I've had in 2016?

Unfortunately for those who tuned in, the interview didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Many criticised D’Arcy for essentially summarising Making A Murderer and not asking more in-depth questions.

Over the course of the interview, D’Arcy asked questions about the case at the heart of Making A Murderer to set the scene for viewers who hadn’t yet bingewatched the series.

Unfortunately, this meant that Making A Murderer fans were left a little bored by the whole thing.

Why does Ray Darcy keep asking questions that we already know the answers to??? Grrr. #DeanStrang #MakingAMurderer

Ray D'Arcy interviewing Dean Strang was cringe worthy. Such an opportunity wasted! D'Arcy can barely string a question together 🙈

Even celebrities took to Twitter to express their discontent with the interview.

Love/Hate’s Laurence Kinlan, Kilkenny hurler Richie Hogan and UFC’s Cathal Pendred were united in their disappointment.

For anyone who has seen Making a Murder, you'll know Ray Darcy hasn't asked him 1 question that we don't know the answer too already 😡😡😡

People were especially unimpressed with Ray D’Arcy asking Strang what it was like to be a “sex symbol”.

Ah here, Ray.

A rare interview, one media corporations around the world would beg to have... and Ray D'Arcy is talking to Dean Strang about sex symbols..

Oh cringe! #raydarcyshow talking about how the "women in the office" & his "wife on the phone" talking about Dean Strang being a sex symbol

He asked #strang about his new found sex appeal. I'm gobsmacked.
