    I know this isn't a documentary and I'm sure there will be some liberties taken but damn I didn't know Cochran was caking like that.

    His closet was nice as hell.

    OJ was a big time narcissist and I think Cuba Gooding did a good enough capturing that aspect that it gives him a pass despite being miscast.

    Yeh man I just cant take Cuba seriously as OJ. I mean, they really couldnt find someone else?

    With that said, he IS doing a good job. I actually didnt know OJ was that narcissistic at all. ? is totally disturbing.

    I was obsessed with this case growing up. I was 10 when the bronco chase was on tv and 11 and 12 during the trial. It really taught me everything I need to know about the importance of reasonable doubt in American law.

    Everything was playing against OJ from a logical standpoint. Prosecution was really good but also dumb as ? at the same time. The genius of the defense calling an audible on the prosecution and taking the race route when the riots were still a sensitive convo in every hood black and brown across the nation is why Cochran was the GOAT.

    Karma got the juice back though. Won't be possibly released on paroled till next year.

    IF I Did It actually cause he didn't want to implicate himself. I never read it cause the concept was disgusting and I always felt he was guilty. I never HATED cause I rememeber why the streets were loving it.

    But it was still very tasteless cause it's the mother of his kids. He got no integrity just pure ego. A true sociopath in every way. Broke my heart as a kid cause I grew up thinking him a hero. OJ taught me to stop putting stars on a pedestal.

    However back then it was bigger than OJ ? was like now times 100 after Rodney King. Many people knew he was guilty but it was the idea of a black man getting white justice (getting away with murder) for a change that made it ok to consider OJ a black man again for that moment in time at least it was for many people I remember.

    That's why Netflix ? up the game (in a good way) because they allow you to watch every episode as soon as the season starts.

    It was has me hating to wait a week to watch what I want.

    I found Travolta's accent more offensive than I did his face. This is what Shapiro really sounds like.

    They could have gotten his little brother, would have been a better fit and he's a better actor. I still can't get over snow dogs.
