Probably because Ryan Murphy was attached to it. Thankfully, he's just a producer.



It's a very viable point. Why they ever got that guy involved in this is a mystery for me. Making a tv series in the biggest trial in American history should sell itself. He's a creative hack who thinks he's providing a public service.

Ross kinda sucks in this. He's making Kardashian out to be a total beta.
Disagree.
His performance is one of my favorite things so far.
It's almost funny in a good way how over concerned he is.

Also, Selma Blair looks damn good.

While I hope the twist is they fry Juice, I really hope the last scene is OJ partying in Stabbingham surrounded by everyone, and they show that everyone feels like they've sold their souls to Satan.

Billy Magnussen

He's been in a lot of good stuff recently.

Big Short and Bridge of Spies.

don't know if this is true, but this was on wikipedia regarding season 2

quote:

The second season is in development, and will focus on Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Ryan Murphy explained the working plan is "to follow a group of six to eight people in an attempt to examine all sides of the tragedy, from the Superdome in New Orleans to the hospital to those who were put on buses and dropped off with babies who had to wear trash bags for multiple days." Production for the second season will begin in fall 2016.[5]

Did no one on set notice that Chris Bauer's Tom Lange looks like the BTK Killer instead of the avuncular detective? Holy shite.

So I definitely understand what's going on and the whole story, etc. But since this all happened before my time, I guess I can't really appreciate the magnitude of it when it was happening live. Would one of you older folk mind comparing what it was like if it were modern day.

It would be like if Wayne Brady was on trial for killing an attractive, blonde haired, white woman right after the Ferguson riots.

The trial was intensely covered almost every day for like 9 months not too long after the Bronco chase that had preempted an NBA Finals game. It helped spawn this anoying fricked up 24 news cycle we have now. It interrupted Rockets Knicks final during MJ's retirement when was trying to hit curveballs.

Barry Scheck was the best lawyer on both sides and made convincing arguments.

He runs and co-founded the Innocence Project with over 300 wrongful convictions overturned - looking into Avery's case.

He's putting forth the best performance. He will almost certainly get an Emmy nomination, if not the win.

I stopped in for Happy Hour and the hunt & pursuit of OJ's white bronco was on live for several hours. We were glued to the TV like WTF give me another beer I got to see how this ends. America was hooked. Best trailer ever for the soon to be released trial. Check your local listings.
