Telly’s Take
Generally speaking, NBC and Dick Wolf have had a successful partnership on his sprawling Chicago and Law & Order television series franchises. That said, not all of their attempts have succeeded. Although it premiered with decent numbers, the ratings for True Crime have dropped quite a bit. If Wolf wasn’t so good at making cost-efficient programming, I’d say this series was toast. For now, my empty gut tells me to seek sustenance somewhere else. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
