Now available on Netflix. Stellar cast. Some portrayals so good it's eerie. Really well done, three episodes in.

Definitely take a break from the real world for a step back in time. Who can resist "The Juice" and Kato Kaelin, plus the origin of the Kardashians.

Of all the horrible things OJ did, being the genesis for KUWTK was the worst of all his sins.

Damned, you, OJ Simpson.

I was laid up at home with pneumonia through the trial, so I watched pretty much all of it the first time around. Not keen on losing that much of my life again watching a re-run.

I watched, it was pretty good & I'm grateful to Guin for the recommendation.

What I watched next was 10x better, however: O.J. Simpson: Made in America, a 7 hour documentary film that interweaves O.J.'s whole life story with the context of race relations in Los Angeles and the nation. It's available on Hulu and Amazon, and is really, really, REALLY worth watching!

I saw both shows and found them very interesting. After watching O.J. Simpson: Made in America I understood why black were so happy about the verdict. I still believe he is guilty of murder but I understand the result and the reaction much better than I did back then.

That's basically my attitude...

I followed the trial very closely when it was unfolding...

A most depressing affair...

I doubt the re-make has a happy ending...

That was my attitude before I started watching....
