I agree with you on this being a guilty pleasure. I started watching expecting some kind of cheesy overproduced show that I'll stop watching after two episodes but I was hooked. I kept looking for all the 90's detail in there and they did a lot of that right.
I kept going to YouTube during the shows to revisit scenes and they did a remarkably good job of giving me 90's nostalgia. The courtroom artist has an interesting take on it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/04/05/o-j-simpson-courtroom-sketch-artist-says-o-j-was-miscast-in-fxs-crime-miniseries/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/04/0....
- mrcsparker 11y agoThanks for posting that. Cuba Gooding Jr. was miscast. He is great but looks nothing like O.J., and a lot of what made O.J. so appealing was his looks. I saw O.J. on a plane once and he is striking. He is an enormous man with a chiseled face. Looks like a living statue. He was a combination of amazing athelete, great looks, and charm. Cuba is great. Super charming, but small and has a wirey frame. This part of the series really bothers me. I remember the night that O.J. was in the Bronco (it was during the NBA finals and the Rockets were playing) and it all seemed unbelievable. O.J. was this moviestar athelete that everone looked up to and, over time, he started to look like a monster. People began to notice that - hey - this is a huge, strong guy. Great show. I feel a little dirty watching it, but I can't stop.
