O.J.” commits a few minor fumbles, almost everyone here has acquitted themselves honorably, in roles that, for the most part, fit them like a glove." - Variety "Through six episodes, it's on track to be one of the best first seasons of television ever made, especially considering the cultural climate surrounding its release." - A critic review off Metacritic "...the show somehow manages to extract genuine tension and suspense from moments that have been embedded to familiarity extremes in both pop culture and recent American history. This is not what one expected from an American Horror Story companion series." - CINEMABLEND Personal Opinion holy ****, it's 1am where i am, i'm trying to fix my sleeping patter but i'm on episode 5 and i. am. HOOKED. obviously being a big fan of AHS, i thought i'd give this show a try since i spotted the high IMDb score, plus i'm too young to remember the O.J. Simpson trial in real life and what i good choice i made when i first started watching, i questioned myself thinking how on earth they could create a tv show out of something we already know the result of and keep it interesting. clearly i'm no expert in TV and film but this show is thrilling, tense and also quite political for the most part since it touches on the subject of police brutality against African American people throughout the season. if you're looking for something engaging and haven't seen this yet then i highly recommend!! i give it 4 Dianes out of 5, mainly cus i can't do half an emoji and because i found the Pilot rather 'boring' compared to the rest of the episodes so far. https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

En_Sabah_Nur 9,205 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Was truly an incredible series, and I remember the O. J. Simpson trial when I was in 5th grade. It was everywhere, and EVERYONE was talking about it. Literally! Missed the first 2 episodes tho... Egypt. W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
