NBC releasesed the new trailer for the first installment of their upcoming anthology series Law and Order True Crime.

The first season will focus on the infamous murders of Jose and Mary Menendez by their two sons Erik and Joseph. Edie Falco will play Erik’s defense attorney, Leslie Abramson.

Does anyone think this will make any impact awards wise?

Give Paul Thomas Anderson an Oscar.

It really looks like a copycat of The People v. O.J. Simpson.

Um… that is the B version ripoff of ACS. Doesn’t look great. Maybe the show will suprise me. If the ear is weak, maybe Falco could get a nomination but anything else is doubtful.

Is it just me or does that wig look horrible? Maybe it’s just that one picture.

I think the ACS comparisons will hurt it, but I think (if the reception is good) Falco could get a nom depending on next years competition given how much they like her.

Was this how they announced Edie Falco’s casting or was she previously announced? Anywho, this looks teribs.org.

I just googled it and she was announced in March. I’m surprised because you would think there would be more attention around it

How many episodes is this supposed to run? It’s listed on the fall schedule on Thursdays, but that means either it won’t air in November and December (because NBC has Thursday Night Football in those months) or it temporarily moves to another day of the week, which can’t be good for a new show.

Heather Graham, Elizabeth Reaser, and Anthony Edwards were also cast within the past month.

“Graham will play Judalon Smyth, a sexy, emotionally fragile woman who is having an affair with the Menendez brothers’ psychologist, Dr. Oziel.”

“Reaser will portray Deputy District Attorney Pam Bozanich, who is assigned to the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez. She has to fight the machismo politics of the DA’s office to keep control of the case.”

“Edwards will play Judge Stanley Weisberg, who presided over the brothers’ murder trial and had a contentious relationship with their defense attorney, Leslie Abramson.”
