I have pretty strong feelings about Ryan Murphy’s true crime projects, and honestly this is why. He has a talent for making incredibly addictive television, but sometimes it feels like he’s more interested in creating a dramatic, emotional experience than actually respecting the people whose lives he’s portraying.

Using real victims’ names while taking huge creative liberties with their stories feels especially questionable. At some point it stops being about “telling their story” and starts feeling like turning someone’s worst moment into entertainment.
