《犯罪实录》首季订数为八集，讲述「梅内德斯兄弟杀人案」（The Menendez Brothers Murders）。 1989年8月20日，21岁的莱尔（Lyle）和18岁的埃里克-梅内德斯（Erik Menendez）在位于贝弗利山的住宅内开枪谋杀了他们的父母，随后驾车逃离。他们将凶器（散弹枪）扔在穆赫兰道上，并在当地一家电影院买了电影票作为不在场证据。当两兄弟再次回到家时，莱尔故意拨打电话报警：「有人杀了我的父母！」警察赶到现场后发现，受害人的死状非常恐怖——梅内德斯兄弟的父亲约瑟（Jose Menendez，一位电影制片人）被人开枪爆头，而母亲基蒂（Kitty Menendez）的身体被多颗子弹击穿。警方一度怀疑该案是黑手党所为。在随后的几个月里，兄弟俩挥霍无度的生活让调查人员对他们卷入此案的怀疑加深。后来检察官表示，两兄弟在他们父母去世的头半年里就挥霍了大约百万美元。埃里克首先向心理医生供述了罪行，警方将其逮捕，但心理医生的录像带无法用作定罪证据。后来莱尔试图逃离美国时也被警方逮捕。此案经过三次庭审才最终定案，前两次庭审均因陪审团意见分歧严重而无法做出裁决。他们的辩护律师莱斯利-艾布拉姆森（Leslie Abramson）在三次庭审过程中均辩称两兄弟遭到父母的虐待——父亲约瑟不仅对他们实施人身伤害，还实施了性虐待；母亲基蒂则「精神不稳定」，是个既吸毒又酗酒、有严重暴力倾向的女人。陪审团在最后一次庭审中没有采纳莱斯利的表述，他们的结论为：两兄弟的作案动机为「获取父母的巨大财富」。1996年，两兄弟被判处终身监禁，而且永远不得保释。1994年曾出现过一部以该案为基础的电影，当时Edward James Olmos和Beverly D’Angelo分别扮演两名受害人。

本剧改编自ABC News/ABC Radio的同名播客，讲述Elizabeth Holmes及她的公司Theranos如何崛起及坠落。 Amanda Seyfried饰演Elizabeth Holmes，她曾经一度被形容为「下一个乔布斯」，因为她提出一项最新技术能够只抽取少量血液就能立即进行检验，并因此得到多个名人的投资。然而实际上她和公司皆没有硬实力达成此事，于是在利欲熏心下Elizabeth开始不停造假，一度推出了根本没法提供正确数据的验血机；最终一切被拆穿后，Elizabeth现正面临刑事指控，而不认罪的她可能被判长达20年的刑期。 Naveen Andrews饰演Sunny Balwani，他是Elizabeth Holmes的商业拍档兼秘密男友，见证了Theranos的崛起及衰落。在《坏血》一书里，Balwani被指是造就公司里恐惧文化的原因之一。
