The People v. O.J. Simpson

While this had an awful script, was badly shot, and just made me laugh out loud at some points (in terms of the production), nevertheless I found myself being swept away into the narrative. Because – yes, folks – the truth is stranger than fiction.

You could not make this shit up. It was insane! Although the trial was on TV all the time when I was a kid, I really paid no attention to it. I suppose that's partly because I'm not American, and also partly because at that age I felt like I had better things to be doing with my time. But seeing how it all unfurled in retrospect was mind-boggling.

How the hell did he get off?! It seems so obvious that he did it! The glove fit! People were talking about how the glove didn't fit – it did!! It was on his hand!! They showed pictures of him wearing the glove!! ARGH!!!!

Crazy! 7/10
