ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
enddsgns The same story with another actors. Again time and money spent for telling something that hasn't solution.
luke4521 I am, like another reviewer said, under 30, but I can tell what a biased representation of something looks like. This is incredibly biased towards the Menendez brothers & their lawyers; it felt kind of like an attempt to create another "Making a Murderer". But I disagree with the reviews that state the boys' acting was very "one note", but the series did run a bit long. By episode 6, I had a sense of 'come on already.' However, I rated this as a 7 because Edie Falco is just fantastic. She is incredibly believable, she LIVED in this role. She really is just amazing & that deserves to be recognized. And Carlos Gomez, whom I adore & think is tremendous, really made me hate him as Jose Menendez, so that definitely says something about the series & acting as well. It was good, but should have been shorter. Also, I think that Law & Order should stick to what makes it popular & not try to reimagine something like "Making a Murderer." If you're bored & like true(ish) crime, go ahead, you'll be entertained.
karmap80 Although I was interested in this series based on a general enjoyment of true crime and knowing that Edie Falco was the lead, I put it off for a while because I didn't think I would enjoy a story that was so high-profile at the time. I felt that I already knew the story and the ending, so it just wouldn't keep my attention as much as watching a story that could keep me guessing. Luckily, I was wrong! The Law and Order Series, from what I remember when I watched it way back when, shines because of its ability to take the viewer, introduce tough subject matter, and let them see what it is like in the shoes of someone much different than them. Many times, you end the episode with an ambiguity about a subject that you didn't have before, simply because it lets you see the circumstances and emotions behind the people involved, where as before you began, it was more of a black or white subject. It can only do this with good writing, acting and directing, of course, and L&O: True Crime has it all. i had to take a deep breath every time they rolled the credits on the end of another episode. It's one of those shows where you start to feel so much for the characters that you want to step into the screen and give them a hug or shout at them. I loved it and I hope the next one is just as good.
edwardlovette Anything related to the infamous Menendez case is usually riveting because of the nature of patricide and this NBC production was not disappointing.It shows the whole drama from the prosecutor's side to the defendant's side. Like all shows connected to the Menendez case it leaves you wondering if the two boys were indeed ever molested. I for one do not believe they were ever molested but some disturbing things were going on in the family like photographing the two boy's genitals. That in itself is strange but does not necessarily indicate child molestation.The drama does leave you wondering about that other issues such as if the family members could be believed in their testimony.
