NBC made like Charles Manson and killed Aquarius after 2 seasons. Is the news a surprise? No, it was one of broadcast’s lowest rated shows ever. Am I disappointed? Yes, because they finally got to the Sharon Tate murders and that is what we cared about. While it was interesting to learn how one of the most notorious murderers in history became the way that he is known for. They spent way too much time building it up and in this day no one has an attention span for the years leading to the climax.
Although this season was a lot more interesting because they touched on other historical milestones like the murder of Robert Kennedy and Manson’s friendship with the Beach Boy’s Dennis Wilson. The problem that was just too little, too late.
My biggest takeaway from the series, I finally found out what Helter Skelter was all about. How did I not learn that from all of the movies I have seen about the Manson Murders?
