      Yeah this is exactly what I'm afraid of, like they just made his life into a drama-series, I think I'm gonna give it a miss tbh
      Yeah, they dont really focus on his boxing career from what I've seen.
      Its mostly about the murder which isnt that interesting

          The oj case is a much more controversial and bizarre case. The monzon one is an open and shut case.
          That being said i couldn't care less about oj or his trial

            lol that is a good point, but with a documentary it is only gonna be an hour or two long at most. And this, on the other hand, is 13 episodes (45mins per episode), which is nearly 10hours; imo there's no need for it be that long-winded except as a device for dramatisation

            ***, now I don't know what to do. I'll probably just watch it all and regret it later

              Yeah, I was just wondering because the show isn’t available to me. You’re one of the first reviewers I’ve seen and it’s glowingly negative. Suppose I’m not missing much.

              Thinking about buying an OJ Simpson jersey on eBay. Too soon?

                I mean i guess if you go into it blindly then its good. But
                1. Its all over the place. They go from him hanging out with a friend to the night of the murder to him and his friend again to the murder to some random flashback of him when he was a kid to the muder again. Its like they didnt know if was gonna focus on the murder/case or his adolescence or his career so they said "**** it. Just mix it up".
                2. The case doesnt even have much twists or turns if any. So i dont see why they drag it out as if it was.
                3. I forgot what episode it was, probably like 4th or 5th but i gave up. Its taking a long time to get to his career started and again dragging the case out by continuously cutting back to it.
                Idk man but i triee to like it but couldn't.

                The oj jersey is played out. Gotta get the black glove bro

                  To be fair, the OJ case wasn't really about OJ at all, it was about the intersection of race, celebrity, the media, and the law in America.

                  OJ's like the least important part of his own documentaries.

                    Yeah, that's how I felt when I watched the first episode the other day. I was already bored.

                    I wasn't sure if I'd continue, but now it looks like I'm not going to.
