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.

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

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.

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.
