The People vs. O.J. Simpson

[RoryN]

A new miniseries, airing on FX, next month.

Based on promos, looks like the best chance of unintentional hilarity this year.

 

[Wrong Element]

Watched the original version, so probably won't be watching the remake.

(Barring reviews and word-of-mouth telling me I need to. I wouldn't have known something called Mr. Robot was any good, except for the dozens of people insisting it really was.)

I've seen the ads in the subway for the past month. Design gets a plus, but meh on the interest in watching. As Element said, having lived through the circus-tented tediousness of it in reality was more than enough.

Agreed.

It felt like an ordeal, even as a mere spectator.

Why give that sociopath any more attention. Add him to the Dead Pool already!

He's a former athlete getting three squares a day in a controlled environment. Terrible Dead Pool pick.

So was Lawrence Phillips.

Yeah, but once you get past those similarities, apples / oranges comparison. (Heh, funny - orange.)

What would be interesting to see is if they test Phillips - and eventually O.J. - for CTE.
