People vs OJ

[megomania]

Still. I guess I find murder or maybe kidnapping more intriguing. Bribery, not so much.

I agree.

They did an American Greed episode last week on Nagin and it was boring.

The former Mayor of NO, Ray Nagin, took bribes, laundered money, etc before and after Katrina. I imagine there's more to the series though.

I agree. David Schwimmer was just annoying and totally aggravating.

For me, the same with the dude who played Chris Darden. Came off as annoying and whiny.

Started watching the final ep last night but didn't get to finish.

No spoilers please! Ha ha =

Yeah, the Darden dude was pretty much a one note character.

I actually agree with you for once.

I disagree...

The second season will focus on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

I thought you were joking but I literally just saw this on an elevator ad in my building. Not something I'd watch....would think they could come up with something better.

Watched the "American Greed" episode last week on the former New Orleans mayor...boring.

Good solid entertaining show. The actors who played Marcia Clark and Johnnie Cochram stole the show. John Travolta played the eccentric role of Robert Shapiro pretty effectively...he was a fun character, lol. David Schwimmer as David Kardashian was my least favorite...he was totally worthless, brought nothing to the table, except to look like a total sap, lol. When you saw the pictures of the real people at the end...you suddenly realize how all the actors physically resembled the real live characters...all except Cuba Gooding as OJ...kinda almost ubelievable they missed the mark in the key central figure. But overall, yeah, I enjoyed it...good stuff.

Dumb question. Didn't see the series but something I've always wondered. Many times when we've been shown OJ's entourage I see a guy who I think is Frank Stalone. That's not really him, right ? He's at like 2:15-ish of this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob5e...&nohtml5=False m

Probably just a bodyguard or something. Looks like he's getting into the drivers side of the car. He has a great mid-90s mullet going though.

The finale was a little underwhelming, but it was a solid show. Well written and the actors all did a phenomenal job. Curious to see what true-crime story they do next.
