DL W This glamorized the whole thing. First of all the actors that play the brothers look like models, in real life not so much. Now everyone is up in arms that they should be released from prison. The series was interesting in the beginning and the end. I was going to give up on the middle because it was so repetitive and drawn out. We still don’t know the truth but either way, they killed their parents while they were sleeping. They could have ran away and started a new life They could have killed just the dad but no, they wanted the money. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Bene L I had decided against watching this show because of the bad reviews. I guess I'm going to have to give more poorly-reviewed shows a shot now, because this was a gem. It's a rollercoaster of a story that leaves you guessing and second-guessing about what happened. The cast is ingenious, the acting superb, the pace is varied, and your sympathies change constantly. It is highly memorable. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Jon R Had high hopes that this would have some value. I'm afraid not. As is so often the case when multiple directors are used on a single story it was so very patchy. Sometimes actors were verging on the brilliant (Ari Graynor, Chavez) Some were nearly always great (Bardem, Sevigny, Koch) some constantly terrible (Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne) and at other times the same actors were almost laughably unwatchable. It was at least four episodes too long given that they were reworking theories and unknowns, why was this...money? Also, probably Thomas Newman's worst ever score (so he didn't believe in it either?). Made me feel really sorry for the real boys (men)...what give Netflix the right to play games with their lives and their fate?? But then, Netflix is one of the most "entitled" and arrogant companies in the world right now. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Ari M Very disappointed in Murphy; the story was very slow and sometimes hard to watch, even though it has great acting. The direction, writing and perspective were the worst. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review andrew k Very slow and scenes were too long. Should have been 3 episodes . I battled through it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Shoshana S The acting in this is great. The subject matter was hard going at times but it was well watch watching.
