Watched People vs OJ

Post by Cassius Clay »

Much better than I thought it would be. Well-casted, smartly-written, eerie score. The heavy subjects are handled fairly and responsibly. I initially thought Cuba was a bad choice, but it ended up working well. Everyone did a good job. 9/10

However, it felt like Travolta was channeling a little Castor Troy...which I loved of course.

Just starting streaming this on Netflix and holy shit, this is some of the best TV I've seen in my life. I've never seen so many important issues handled with such complexity and humanity. Everyone (well, maybe not Travolta) is on their A-game, from every actor to the writers. There was so much going on with this trial and the people involved that if you made it up in a fictional context everyone would say you were going too over the top. You just can't make this stuff up.

Wow. Just wow.
