American Crime Story: The People vs O.J. Simpson

I couldn't find a thread, so here's one.

Re: American Crime Story: The People vs O.J, Simpson

I saw the first episode last night, and it's very good.

I can't get past the horrible casting of Cuba Gooding JR. as O.J.!

He doesn't look like O.J., but he was very good, IMO.

Still remember the announcement over the loudspeaker at work 20 years ago.

Not Guilty.

Spoilers

He goes to prison in the sequel for armed robbery.

Haven't started watching yet

Watching all this live as it happened was enough for me.

I wonder how it ends?

Unjustly for the victims and divided on racial lines for everyone else.

Very entertaining first episode. I'll stick with it. I remember alot of that trial because I was in HS when it happened. I remember the announcement dropping when we were at lunch and some kid threw his sandwich at the TV.

I watched it and liked it. It's no wonder he got away with it.

I just watched the first episode. It was laughably bad. I'm going to keep watching just to make fun of it.

It's still bizarre to me to see something done that I remember watching as a kid. I remember the Bronco chase and the trial and all of that. The casting is hilarious, especially when you compare them to the actual people but it definitely caught my attention to watch it through.

I liked the first episode enough. I don't think I need to see any more of the Kardashian kids.
