The Menedez Murders Continues a Long-Standing Trend of Crime TV
From Netflix’s Making a Murderer, to the podcast Serial and FX’s American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, true crime series have found their way onto almost every major network and streaming service. We've become dazzled by reality; highly–publicized murder trials have found their place in prime time. But it's almost impossible not to ask why we continue to entertain ourselves with gruesome, tragic murders. It seems, though, that we're less interested in the grizzly details and more interested in the people behind these crimes.
