Law & Order True Crime

I was so affected by the series. I can't say anything good about cinematography but story line is main point. It's just great. Edie Falco god, what an actress! She literally lived her role. I'm really impressed. And I pitied The Menendez Brothers. I wanted them to be free on my couch by yelling, "Release them!" This show made me do that. And I began to research The Menendez Brothers. This show needs to get 2nd season approval. And another crime needs to be showed.

A lot of these I never realized happen. I was very young when the case was going on. Not going to put any spoilers in here, but who doesn't like true crime and of all things the famous, DUN DUN! Is included. Will there be anymore true crime cases in the future?

This mini-series held my attention throughout with great acting and a solid story untill the final episode. Why the 2 boys lawyers did not simply put all their effort into an appeal that they would obviously get because of the numerous errors made by the judge goes beyond any rational thinking.

Just nothing else to say....the errors by the Judge are blatant!

There are some really good docs-dramas out there. The People vs OJ (2016) is one, and Manhunt: Unibomber (2017) is another. The British also make these types of programs, Appropriate Adult (2011) comes to mind. I've seen other movies that cast doubt on the ultimate trial outcomes, and it is these that this production resembles. A recent example of this type of filmmaking would be the brilliant Escape At Dannemora (2018), which questioned the sentence of one of the two escapees, and his further punishment after capture. In style Law & Order True Crime resembles The People vs OJ, yet the bias is definitely on the side of the defendants, enough so that after writing this review I'll look up what happened to the case in recent years. Law & Order shows were always highly charged and topical, and executed with high standards. This is a brilliant addition to their legacy, with full marks to the writers. It's full of suspense and worthy performances, great casting and good camera direction. At eight episodes it was possibly a tad too long, although one could argue the defence was such a burning issue it could perhaps have been longer. I'm full of questions. Great television from America.

I've read and watched everything related to the Menendez brothers' case and this movie was one of the bests I have ever watched. I've never felt this attached to or felt so much for any characters.. EVER! and that is because these 2 brothers are not criminals but victims. The things that happened to them are absolutely inhumane and they were done to them BY THEIR "PARENTS". They must reopen this case ASAP these brothers should not be suffering any more than they already have! Society and the "Justice" system have let them down beyond words can explain I honestly cannot stop crying...
