It made me feel sympathetic as well. It was such a great watch. But in the last few minutes you could sort of see the cracks forming.

I'm completely baffled by this line of thinking. The "love white America had for him" only really turned poorly when he decided to kill two people. Before that he lived for many years taking advantage of situations that he didn't deserve (he was awful at broadcasting and acting, especially in the beginning) while CHOOSING to segregate himself from the African American community.
The parallel with Cosby has already been mentioned in the program. Kind of incredible.

This and American Crime Story have been excellent television.

All he needed to do was to not kill people. His celebrity shielded him when it came to his domestic abuse record. That's well documented.
EDIT: Started!

I'll be honest, the more these docs make me hate OJ, the more I appreciate Johhnie Cochran. How he was able to get a guy like OJ, who would otherwise be absolutely hated by the black community if all this came out, into a rallying point, AND win the trial.
The man and his team were sorcerers.

Man OJ had some life before all that shit with the murders.
I was very young back then and had no idea how interesting his life was.
Good Documentary so far.

OJ you motherfucking scumbag.
The disdain in his voice. He must've wanted to call him something derogatory but had to catch himself.

Man its serious business lol. Golf is OD proper.
He was sick of playing against Judge Smails.
He's in a documentary about a guy accused of killing his wife but he's still so angry about cheating during golf.

The only people they couldn't get were OJ himself, Cowlings, and Darden.

I knew of the Latasha Harlins shooting and the subsequent race riots, but I've never seen the footage. That's an execution.
