Look, this was an extremely popular murder case that captivated the U.S. for quite some time. Just like any infamous criminal case there is going to be a LOT of subjective point of views, disagreements and different versions of the true story. I'm not 100% privy on everything that happened and I am not going to write a review simply because I disagree with what my perception of the truth is. People that take points off a show because it doesn't match their opinion on what actually happened drive me insane.
I'm here for a good show, not 100% accuracy. I'd watch a documentary or live footage for that.
I'm writing a review based on my thoughts on the show itself. It's phenomenal. I thought it was going to be as dark, gritty and depressing as Dahmer was but the undertones are a bit lighter with slight comedic elements here and there. Dahmer was also fantastic but I expected this show to be just as emotionally devastating. I had to take breaks from Dahmer because of how emotionally draining it was. Granted, it was an entirely different type of crime so it makes sense that it was bleak. I just figured because this show is the same people that made Dahmer it would be just as bleak, but not quite. This show has fantastic pacing, the characters are interesting and the acting really sells it.
Now, bringing factuality of the events into the equation, yeah the show takes its' own artistic interpretations on what might have happened. Things like what happened in prison, what the therapist talked about one on one before the recordings, what the brothers did when nobody was looking and what types of conversations they had. Obviously these are just things we can't know and the director does what they can to make the show interesting, and they do a great job at it.
Personally I thought it was great. They didn't romanticize the suspects or their crimes and they added their own artistic touches to keep people engaged. Whether the Menendez brothers are really guilty or not, I don't really care. I just wanted to watch a good Crime thriller and that's exactly what I got.
