Loved this episode.

Being on a jury really makes you crazy.

 

[GorillaJu]

Another great episode. Man I wish I could just binge watch this... Two more to go, is it? The Fuhrman tapes must be up next week.

 

[Matt_]

That ending makes me think major fireworks next week
Not knowing anything about what is coming up (other than the final verdict of course) makes this all very exciting. Honestly cannot believe some of the shit that went on
Its just ridiculous that I found out that anything that I think is outlandish and cannot be true actually happened (even if it is altered a little)

This. Show.

Give Vance his damn Emmy, we're only a few months into the year but it's a wrap. His portrayal of Cochran is just mesmerizing to watch. I go from being impressed and sympathetic to frightened of him within the span of the same episode.

I can't believe this ended up being as entertaining as it is. The first trailer looked so goofy, I'm glad I was way off base.

Sterling K Brown is killing it as Darden too. Never seen him in anything before, but I'm hoping he gets more roles after this.

[Macho Madness]

This show is great. Next episode is going to be fire.

 

[faceless007]

Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair's fact-check articles don't mention it, but I'm curious to know more about what was up with Fung shaking the hands of the defense attorneys right after getting off the stand. That may have been the most surreal moment of the episode for me.

RS mention it at the end.

But either way, Scheck won over the jury and maybe even Fung, who actually shook the hands of the entire defense team at the end. And unlike on the show, Toobin wrote Shapiro even gave him a bear hug. (3/5 Gloves)

[Fried Food]

This was the episode that finally made me question (a little) whether or not O.J. actually did it. I mean, with making a murderer I was/am so sure the cops set the guy up, but with this I haven't been willing until now to believe there could have been a setup.

this is so cringey at times. Ha!

 

[Curufinwe]

I saw Harvey Levin complaining that the show is making it seem like there was reasonable doubt when there really wasn't. But I don't agree; I think it's just doing a good job of showing why the jury thought there was reasonable doubt.

I marathoned the first 8 episodes on demand in the last week, great show.

[eloestmn]

The really was a Confederate statue close to the courthouse, and there still is one for that matter, but it was outside the old abandoned Courthouse...NOT the one the actually held court in when they were here in 95.
The statue outside the Old Courthouse

Im not sure about all those paintings on the wall when Cochrane was first speaking.

 

[-griffy-]

Damn I had no idea how messed up these Fuhrman tapes were for the case.

EDIT: This is fucking bananas. This show is so damn good.

 

[VeryGooster]

 

[ezekial45]

What an episode. Holy shit.

 

[Zoe]

Ugh, I knew he was gonna say that, but I didn't want him to say that :\

So did real life Robert Kardashian ever express these doubts?

 

[TWrecks310]

This show is wild as hell.

I'm not even sure if it's objectively good sometimes but I love it so much.

 

[VeryGooster]

Finale next week huh.

What a ride. This show went from entertaining junk food in the first two episodes to something legitimately great for me.

Brilliant episode. Fuhrman is such a piece of shit.

And OF COURSE Fuhrman works for Fox News now. http://www.foxnews.com/person/f/mark-fuhrman.html

Ugh, I knew he was gonna say that, but I didn't want him to say that :

I remember some interview where he did. His face when the verdict was first read says a lot.

[Chamber]

This show has been fantastic, damn.

 

[ezekial45]

Here's the OJ Simpson workout video.

[woodchuck]

I wish they had shown the arthritis/workout video testimony more. I would have loved to see both sides reactions

 

[MBison]

What a great hour of tv.

The Chris Darden actor, please Emmy that dude up pronto.

Fuhrman was a fucking pig but OJ was guilty as fuck.

 

[985boi]

Oh fuck me....when the camera pans into the Goldman's family reaction :*(

 

[Vyer]

This show is amazing. The use of music in this thing is entertaining as hell

 

[blackaroni]

This is the first Ryan Murphy show I've seen that has nine great episodes. I'm completely shocked. Cochran is so evil and amazing at the same time. The rest of the cast is great too...except for David Schwimmer. He just looks so damn dopey all of the time. It's still a great show though.

 

[985boi]

Found this amazing recent interview where Carl Douglas, one of the Dream Team lawyers, gave insight into the case and talk a little bit about the tv show. Warning tho, it's 52 minutes long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0433l1MSqA

 

[crazyrabbits]

Those elevator scenes... Sterling Brown da gawd.

And that Fred Goldman press conference... just knew it was coming, and it did not disappoint.

 

[Exokell]

Brilliant episode. Fuhrman is such a piece of shit.

And OF COURSE Fuhrman works for Fox News now. http://www.foxnews.com/person/f/mark-fuhrman.html

Reading the Wikipedia entry, I'm like wtf.

 

[RastaMentality]

This show is amazing. The use of music in this thing is entertaining as hell

After mr. Robot and this, Mac Quayle is fucking it.


The Katrina season is gonna be good shit too. If Ryan Murphy makes a good multiple season show, holy shit.

 

[Mchardy]

Incredible episode!

[dead souls]

That was one of the finest episodes of television I've seen in 2016.

I can't believe this ends next week. I'm going to miss it.

 

[Sober]

Man that shot where Johnny goes "Manna from Heaven" was so fuckin cheesy but absolutely amazing at the same goddamn time.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

This show is amazing. The use of music in this thing is entertaining as hell

I completely agree; I had been put off by it, fearing a low quality dramatisation that was merely banking upon the topic, but this show has just been surprisingly fantastic overall on almost all accounts. I'm only surprised more people (unless I simply am not seeing the attention it's getting) aren't talking about it honestly.

 

[Saya]

I am sad to have learned that there is only one more episode remaining. I am loving this show. The last episode was incredible. Every episode was in the range from good to great. And the cast is just excellent.

Are there any good documentaries on the OJ Simpson case around? I really want to see and compare the show's version of events with the real case.

 

[strafer]

holy shit, this episode...so good.

 

[Haxan]

Gotta admit, if I was a juror, after the Mark Fuhrman pleading the 5th incident, I'd probably be going with "not guilty," even if just out of disgust.
