Selma Blair guest stars as Kris Kardashian and Connie Britton also guest stars.

10 episode series premiered February 2nd on FX. Produced by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Dante Di Loreto (of Glee, American Horror Story and Scream Queens) and Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski write and executive produce. Murphy directs four of the ten episodes.

It's had critical acclaim.

Season two will follow Hurricane Katrina and the crime that followed it back in 2004 in New Orleans. It's anthology but based on true stories.

Season three will be based around the assassination of Gianni Versace.

Selma Blair is a great choice for Kris :love:

Perched <3

:snooze:

This looks good, fingers crossed it delivers and gets Cuba Gooding Jnr some good film roles again. Such an underrated actor.

I'm gonna love this. I'm still pissed off about the OJ Simpson trial 20 years later.

First episode aired last night, it's got 96% on rotten tomatoes and 90% on meta.

It got over 5 million viewers as well

this having a higher meta than any season of ahs :worry:

Metacritic is based on the first episode only for TV's shows

Imma watch sometime this week anyway

It will be broadcast in the UK on BBC Two starting Monday 15th Feb at 9pm

Will this actually tell a story then, unlike AHS? :idc:

Not 5 million

I think so because it's a true story

But did it have a conclusion? :worry: Or is it open ended?

Just seen the first ep of this, was really good. The OJ case is the sort of thing that everyone knows of but I've never really understood how it all played out so will definitely stick with it

I'll be watching

Need to watch it

It's REALLY good.

Just watched the first episode. Absolutely brilliant.

I don't know much about the trial as I'm too young to remember it. It's very interesting though. Sarah Paulson is excellent in it.

Cast looks great so I'll give it a go some time in 2018

Watch it on Monday night on BBC2 :fist:

Did anyone see it? It was very good IMO.

Great performance from Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clarke; almost eerily good. I cant wait for the next episode.

I think it's doing a good job so far, the way they clearly show how blacks are willing to completely ignore the facts and just support a black man because he's black is really well done, and very relevant to a lot of what's been going on in the media lately when it comes to black criminals.

it's a very relevant case, and people need to be more conscious of how the black lives matter movement has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with just black anger.

one of the most poignant moments for me was when there were people cheering for OJ on the highway, and a reporter asks one of the cheering black guys "why are you cheering for Oj? and he responds "we aren't cheering for OJ, we are booing the LAPD" and she then responds, "that's not what it sounds like"....

i wish black people that really care about racial justice realized how bad they come across when they cheer for criminals and murderers, and think that is the same as booing the corruption in the police force. they ruin their own cause by cheering for criminals.

Excellent series/. Just watching the final episode.
