Why can I not stop getting enough of this story?

Hulu could drop another miniseries about him next week and I'd probably watch it too.

After the extraordinary FX series and ESPN series, let's go back again.

What was the ESPN one titled? Is it a 30 for 30?

I've only seen the Netflix show and thought it was fantastic!

Made In America. It was 30 for 30, but it was a 5 episode miniseries, not a typical one for them.

Is this about OJ hunting for Ron and Nicole's killer?

I saw this on Newly Added, but thought I had already seen it. Guess not

Part 1 of Made in America was great.

They did a great job of digging into the weeds of the time frame of the time and political/racial climate.

Good character development.

I just finished it last night. I liked that they interviewed people close to the story and close to the trial.

Darden was in over his head. For that matter, Fuhrman was too. Totally blind-sided and thrown under the bus. Both contributed extensively to the story

Carl Douglas is a spineless race-baiter.

Mike Gilbert is a leech.

It brought back a lot of memories following this trial. I didn't realize how much almost inscrutable forensic evidence they had that, in the end, got shoved aside because the defense made this about the police department's sloppiness. Nevermind, two people are dead By the middle of of the last episode I was reminded how they created enough shadow of a doubt that OJ got away.


Two people I wish could have interviewed - Marsha Clark and Lance Ito. Those two people were huge contributors to the verdict.

I watched the first three episodes. I have to echo what Burdizzo said on every point. I'll add that the finger-pointing among the LAPD vets says a lot about how the department (mal)functioned back then. And boy, Clark absolutely swung and missed in jury selection.

Douglas is shameless. Notice his back bench seat in the courtroom. I guess Dershowitz said no to this. I would like to hear what he has to say. Not bad to have acquittals for OJ and Claus von Bulow on your CV.

The FX show, American Crime Story about OJ was really good too. Will never forget watching the NBA finals and the news breaking in with the car chase.

The reason this story just keeps going is because they never get everybody all at once.

Marcia Clark was heavily involved in the FX show.

Chris Darden is really the key to this show, and he hadn't been previously.

Lance Ito really never has any reason to talk. But if he is in 5 years, I'll dive through this all over again.

I started watching that a few years back and heard it was good. Never finished because I could not get past Ross Geller as Bobby Kardashian.
