You saw the chase... You watched the trial... but you don't know the half of it.
Beginning Tuesday February 2nd on FX, Ryan Murphy (creator of shows Nip/Tuck, Glee, & AHS) brings a whole new angle to one of the most famous public court cases in the last 50 years. For the freshman season of FX's newest anthology series, American Crime Story will dig into the O.J. Simpson trial that spanned almost a full year in coming to a verdict (Nov '94 - Oct '95). Charged on two accounts of murder including the death of his own ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, the former football player and actor created a nationwide phenomenon that caused everyone to become a critic and the issue of 'race' to be the forefront of discussion on every tv station, radio network, and newspaper. Led by a strong cast including Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Connie Britton, John Travolta, and Selma Blair, Cuba Gooding Jr. takes the lead role of Simpson, and he's a surefire nomination for the upcoming award seasons.
"There are few truly unifying events in American life. When something happens that makes the entire country stop and take notice, we remember it forever. Everybody remembers where they were when O.J. Simpson, riding in a white Bronco, led the police on a low-speed chase all over Los Angeles. This marked the emergence of the 24-hour news cycle and the birth of reality television."
I can't wait for this series!!! It looks fantastic! From the detail in the short promos, to the stellar cast, to the direction the show seems to be taking... this is going to be big. The show has already recieved nothing but praise, and Murphy has always been known for creating amazing first seasons. It was revealed today that should the show be renewed, the second season would take a different direction for the "crime" theme and focus on around 8 victims of Hurricane Katrina, and how each of them had to deal with their health, homes, and personal lives after the huge tragedy.
We just have a little less than a month until it premieres, but I thought I'd get a jump start and make this now to get some interest in it before it airs. I'd love to hear your opinions!!
Excited for this! I might not have the attention span to last all season but I'll definitely attempt to watch it!
it's only 10 episodes hahaha don't worry
Csnt wait to watch
I think this show will be really good. Can't wait for it to start. I love crime shows like this.
Lost interest with AHS so excited for this though!
Living for this! I'm already obsessed with the case so I'm super excited for the show.
same!!! I'm trying to catch up just so i can finish the season but its so harddd lol (so far there has only been one decent episode (Ep.7 - Flicker) - even the 10 Commandments killer reveal was lame and expected)
so ready for this!!
I have a friend who works as a reporter and he already got the first 6 episodes in advance. I've heard nothing but praise from him, so I can't wait to watch it myself!
I'm so excited for this, I love AHS so this should be really good to and crime shows are the best
Sarah Paulson can act her *** off.
my friend said she is the highlight of the season.. can't wait!! Thank god because she has been boring me in AHS lately
Is this the reporter from Tinder you had an awkward TIFF encounter with? That story had me in tears.
Y'all ******* now?
lool how do you even remember that? As a matter of fact it is that guy haha and no but we have remained good friends
PREMIERE TONIGHT!!!!! This show is going to be so good! I can't wait
How many episodes is this show supposed to have?
Too many.
10 i think... its a short season
problem?
I mean... Just like the rest of Murphy's projects there's no longevity for the series. And we all know OJ did it.
What time it it at
gonna try this show out. I feel like it'll be too complicated for me but we'll see.
well duh lol i heard OJ is sort of a background character in this series (and its an anothology series, once the season is over so is the OJ trail... season 2 will be a new "crime story")... I heard its more about Marcia Clark actually and the whole race divide that the situation caused
10 on FX
I don't know if i should watch this tonight or this other show I have been watching called The Killing Fields about this old cold case.
loved it!! i'm in
anyone still watching this??? The first few eps i didn't like very much but it's been getting really good as of the last 3 episodes!!
So were you lying to yourself in the post above this one or nah?
haha i did like the premiere.. how it was filmed and the acting (aside from Cuba), but the story wasn't all the way there for me. Now that the court stuff has really heated up I am loving it again... the first couple episodes dealt with a lot of stuff outside the court room and it started to drag.
**** no since I lived through it in 1994-late 1995. there's no need to see the half *** casting jobs either. Or Kardashian family focus either. Good job for David Schwimmer though. Even though he still looks like Ross/Gonzo
there hasn't really been much/anything of this in the last 3 episodes thankfully lol
and jesus how old are you? here i am thinking you're younger than me lol
