The aim of “The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” is to elevate her from a mere victim.

TFD – On June 1 and 2, Lifetime will air “The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson,” a docuseries that revisits the infamous 1994 murder case. This series aims to present Nicole Brown Simpson’s story in a new light, focusing on her life and the impact of her tragic death. Be sure to tune in at 8 p.m. ET to witness this compelling narrative unfold.

With “The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson,” a project whose title suggests its intention to portray her as more than just a victim, Lifetime revisits “the trial of the century” thirty years after Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder and a few months after O.J. Simpson’s passing. The docuseries talks to the proper people in presenting her side of the tale, even though the filmmakers are unable to add much new to the case.

Even though Nicole Brown was brutally murdered in June 1994 and her husband, football player O.J. Simpson, was charged with her murder, some details have undoubtedly faded from memory. For example, when he first approached her, Nicole Brown was an 18-year-old hostess who was “just a girl from Laguna,” according to her sister Dominique Brown, who “met a guy that swept her off her feet.”

Nicole’s other sisters, Denise and Tanya, join family friends in remembering her, and there are plenty of tears along the way – including a visit to her grave near the end of the four chapters – as well as anger about how the media depicted her. Denise claims, “They were portraying her as this party girl,” citing a tabloid photo of her floating in a bikini. “They were portraying her as someone she wasn’t.”

The producers—whose credentials include “Surviving R. Kelly” on Lifetime—use vintage home videos to expand on Nicole’s initially brief relationship, her perfect childhood, and the less glamorous aspects of her union with the actor and football player. This entails speaking with former LAPD detective Terry Schauer, who responded to an incident at their home, and tracing the history of domestic violence calls back to Simpson’s first wife, Marguerite.

The analysis that follows delves deeply into Simpson’s possessive behavior (which, according to a friend of the Brown family, included his insistence that Nicole not breastfeed), his adultery, and his resentment toward other men after their breakup, especially in light of Nicole’s connection with Marcus Allen, another exceptional USC running back.

While the production team has included interviews with the Brown sisters, investigator Tom Lange, Kato Kaelin, Faye Resnick, and other supporting characters who played significant roles in the trial, everyone appears to be a little older. Denise remembers a “gut-wrenching, curdling scream out of my parents’ bedroom” when they learned of Nicole’s murder, among other painful recollections.

Since Nicole was the most vocal and visible family member during and after the trial, Denise, has made it clear that she will not be using Simpson’s name. Simpson’s death in April reignited discussion about the case, but the focus here remains firmly on how his actions and behavior affected Nicole.

“The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” most likely won’t alter many people’s opinions or match the complexity of previous investigations into this case, such as the widely watched ESPN docuseries “O.J.: Made in America” and the dramatized “American Crime Story.”

Because of Simpson’s notoriety and the televised proceedings, the trial captured the attention of the media and has continued to reverberate through time, drawing fresh attention at each significant anniversary in the years that have passed. After seeing more of that than is probably good for you or necessary, Lifetime has added a legitimate chapter to that filmography without really moving the needle.

On June 1 and 2, “The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” will premiere on Lifetime at 8 p.m. ET.
