What did you think? Did you watch the first episode and are you looking forward to seeing the next?
 
I watched the first hour. Looking forward to watching the rest.
 
No. I watched a lot of the trial as it happened so no real interest anymore.
 
I must say it is an interesting time for this series to come on. I think it will pick up more as the series goes on. I am a bit surprised ABC isn't covering all of it or am I wrong? The first episode was on ABC then it shifts to ESPN.
 
I watched OJ most of his life. I have no interest in seeing a sequel in a few episodes.
 
Just watched the first episode, really interesting and well done. Thanks for the recommendation, @BigGameDamian.

That's pretty much the same excuse you gave for refusing to watch Ken Burn's Civil War documentary. "I lived through it, why should I watch it."

Really? I thought I watch it on TV.

But you are right of course, I am filling the Ancient Mariner role rather well. Learning to sing for my supper too it seems. I was in Cathlamet a couple weeks ago.
Spent two days telling people about the MarAzul, it was going so well the local yacht clulb invited me to stay as their guest at their dock. Then I happened to see some people discussing some stone work not far from the Marina. I managed to fill in some detail, my grandfather did that work just about 100 years ago this year.
So then I had to go talk with a local historian at the library, more stone work there too. First time I have visited that town, sort of fun.
 
Good documentary.

So far didn't know:

OJ's dad was gay.

One of OJ's kids drowned in the pool at Rockingham.

Nicole was banging Marcus Allen.

Let me sum it up.

Born
Shitty student
Gets in to UW
Hurts knee
Gets drafted by Blazers
Has AssClown for coach that let's him ISO
Hurts knee
Takes a max contract
Retires from Blazers
Signs with division rival
Forces Portland to use Amnesty clause on him
Never really has come back to be a part of the team that gave him so much
For some reason people here love him
 
Surprised they made episodes available on demand before airing. They even had the commercials removed.

Great documentary.
 
OJ Simpson and his lawyers exploited and made a mockery of the struggle of the African American race to get him off for a murder that had nothing to do with race. The circus they created, that Judge Ito allowed was a disgrace. A wealthy retired football player murdered his wive and her friend/lover, in a jealous rage. A crime of passion. The detectives were lazy and inept, not racist (except furhman, but I didn't believe then, nor do I now that evidence was planted) Justice was not met in that case. In the final episode of O.J. Made in America, one of the jurors admits that OJ's freedom was revenge for Rodney King, a sad but understandable truth.

My favorite comment was "Now you know how we feel". Sadly, it took a trial like this for most to truly feel the pain of a justice system that is not fair. Improvements are being made but our prison and court systems are still far from perfect.

And that Vegas judge bent him over and drove it home!
 
So what was in the bag that Kardashian hauled out of OJ's house?
 
I liked the series. Kind of interesting the parts I forgot or wasn't aware of.
