Looks interesting, will watch. I grew up in CA, don't remember what grade I was in but I remember my teacher turning on the tv in class so we could watch the verdict. The story dominated everything at the time.
A few years later I was doing a police ride along with a family friend and he took me to city hall, ended up meeting judge Ito and one of the prosecutors, can't remember his name. Coincidentally, that guy and others I knew were all from Rampart Division, which it turned out later a bunch of guys were dirty at that station, kickbacks, drugs, killings.
L.A. in the 90's was wild.
Americans are dreamers too

I really enjoyed the first episode and am looking forward to this series. Not really knowing anything about the case other than what I picked up through pop culture & the verdict, it'll be nice to see it in-depth. The first episode at least makes it look like a slam dunk prosecution so very interested in seeing how it all falls apart!

Great pacing on the show thus far.

I was "ehhh" about the show, but the first episode was good.
The complaint I have is there were a few too many Kardashian references in it. I get it that the father (the real one that didn't have tits) was friends with Simpson and Fox wants Kardashian followers to watch.
If it does become a Kardashianfest, I'll stop watching.

Watched the first episode. Pretty good.
Casting is a bit puzzling though. Cuba Gooding Jr is a curious choice. He looks too small to be OJ.
Take care of those titties for me.

True, but I do think Travolta is extremely convincing as Robert Shapiro. Back in the day, I'd have cast Denzel Washington as OJ. But it's not the 90's.

I always thought his son did it.

I've always believed the son helped OJ.
Onto the show:
-The scene where Robert Kardashian was praying for "Juice". Dude should have been praying for his daughters not to become the biggest sluts this side of the Sunset Strip.
-It was too much with the name spelling and chanting, little Kardashian fucks. Facepalmingly fucking gay.
-Speaking of gay, "AC" is a fucking cuck: "Juice's" first wife was "AC's" fiancé. He stole her from him. And the jock sniffer was that committed to him? Fag. Oh, and he got away with aiding & abetting.
-Where's Bruce? Mama San Kris was married to it when the shit went down. Guess Fox has limits on how freaky they want to get.
Episode 2 sucked. Let's see what 3 brings.

Word has it that Cuba Gooding Jr. overacted his part. Any truth to it?
I may watch it if it comes out on Netflix. I'm a huge Bills fan and was crestfallen that one of our greats is a murderer*
* I have no doubt that he murdered Nicole Brown

I'm really enjoying the show so far. I was a Sophmore in High School when this all went down. I always heard that David Hasselhoff was doing his big US Concert the day the famous Bronco Chase went down and that the Network dropped it for coverage of OJ. I was hoping for a cameo of Hasselhoff cussing OJ but no such luck. I do agree they are overdoing the Kardashian angle.

Episode 3 had a better pace than the last one. And it really laid the irony thick on the Kardashians, almost too much.
Best part was Johnnie getting the crank call.

Great series. The guy playing Cochran is amazing. I laughed so hard when Cochran whispers to Darden..."Nigga please".

Horrible overacting by all the big leads: Schwimmer, Travolta, and Gooding Jr. And the Kardashian references are annoying as fuck. Otherwise an entertaining show if you've got time to kill.
Final grade: C-
