People vs OJ

Anybody else watching this? I have to say I'm a little intrigued.

The investigating agency screwed this up 50 different ways. He did have a great legal team; but with the amount of mistakes, it would be hard to get a guilty verdict...........(even if he did do it)

The defense managed to make it a case about the prosecution/lapd rather than the murder

That trial lasted so long and got such coverage that I have zero interest in reliving it by watching a mini-series. It seemed endless when it was taking place.

I watched most of the trial as it happened. I was disturbed to learn that most of the families and those people involved in the murder were not interviewed for this movie. I watched the first episode last night and found numerous mistakes. I hope the new generation that watches this "documentary" are not led to disbelieve the obvious facts.

As if the original crime wasn't heinous enough, the whole event helped launch the careers of the Kardashians.

Quite interested in this. I think it airs here in the UK next month. BBC have picked it up.

It is the same people who do American Horror Story so it will be the same case every season just playing different parts. As far as I have read each season will focus on one crime. Got the potential to be excellent as there must be dozens of high profile cases throughout the years that have interesting stories

I believe you are expecting too much from the youth of this country. Have you seen the movie "Idiocracy"? I live it with every trip to Wal Mart.

Idiocracy is starting to look like a crystal ball.
