NBC has cancelled Law & Order: True Crime after one season. The network has opted not to renew the anthology series for Season 2, having billed the upcoming season finale as the “series finale”.
About Law & Order: True Crime:
This new true-crime installment of the powerhouse “Law & Order” franchise delivers a gripping in-depth dramatization of the notorious murder case that changed America forever. When the Menendez brothers were tried on national TV for brutally killing their parents in Beverly Hills, their story became a national obsession. The first edition of this anthology series delves into the players, the crime and the media circus, detailing the day-to-day battles of the trial and unveiling the shocking truth of what really went down when the cameras stopped rolling.
RIP.

There are so many movies, documentaries, etc on about the Menedez brothers that most people get tired of seeing the same story line

This show had the same issues the Menedez brothers had in real life – if they were abused, why didn’t they just leave instead of killing their parents. They were adults at that point. The only thing really shown was the dad saying if you don’t do what I say, I’ll cut you off. Or, I’m not going to pay for your college. Well, then, fine. I’ll go get a job and support myself. But neither brother said that. Instead, they say dad threatened to kill them yet they hung around at home anyway. The series didn’t really offer any new or different insight into their choices/behaviors. Ultimately, there was really no one to empathize/sympathize with. There was really no one likable to root for. Sure, it seemed like the judge looked to have pulled some shady stuff, but Abramsom didn’t appear much better.

I am disappointed this show is canceling – there are soooo many stories that could have been told over the years – this would have been a super addition to the tv line up – I feel like the networks are canceling shows too quick……….for what its worth i really enjoyed this show – i felt it was a powerful story this season – awful crime but i cant even imagine the abuse these boys went thru – just awful – and the parents made me sick – and i had no idea the judge in the case was such a d i c k (can i say that here lol ) anyway i will miss this show………..
