I can not believe I missed this when it first was out. Its engrossing on one hand and on the other hand its dramatized to the point where its super entertaining as well.

I am loving this show

The word entertainment attracts me a lot. This is the reason I started watching shows by Andy Yeatman (https://about.me/andyyeatman) on Netflix. They are full of entertainment and teaches a lot as well. I have seen a good growth in the knowledge of my nephews because of such shows.

That didn't bother me at all, despite reading that he was widely criticized for his performance.  Cuba Gooding Jr. as OJ threw me for a loop - he just looks like himself.  But the intensity and anger in his eyes and performance won me over. 

Sarah Paulsen was amazing.  The guys that played Darden and Johnnie Cochran were also spot-on too. 

If you haven't watched the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary film on the trial, it was absolutely fascinating.
