Damn, I am glad I didn't start watching the OJ program if it lasts that long. I will have to catch it another time. Enjoying the Grammy's though.

I don't know who any of these artists are. I'm here for the tributes and hopefully some Gaga.

Gaga is performing with Metallica. My god, there is nothing she can't do

Is anyone else watching this jazz? I'm curious to hear others thoughts. I was too young to know anything about OJ. First I ever heard of him was when he allegedly killed his wife. Are they any posters on hear old enough to remember his being a stark and seemingly ignoring the black movement because of his celebrity? It seems he had a unique experience

Alright, tide is turning. It's starting to show his darker side.

He was beating her repeatedly? Good grief.

The People vs. OJ Simpson is a pretty good watch.

I'm growing to really hate him and I'm starting to think the goal of this film is that he was a victim of circumstance somehow. That he was always above the fray and whites never mistreated him so he it inflated his ego. I'm sure it did affect him. But good lord. Really seeming like he was a douche his whole life.

Is this on Netflix or Hulu or anything?

I am enjoying all that I'm learning about the LAPD and the culture of LA at that time.

This Marcus Allen twist I never knew.

I think it just got added on Netflix. Nowhere near in depth of the ESPN one, but very interesting and well done. Also, great casting. A lot of the actors look just like the people they're portraying (big exception with OJ, for some reason).

The ESPN one is very well done. Ropes in those that are curious about OJ and the racial divide that there was in LA. Maybe there still is a racial divide that I know not about. I'll check Netflix for it at some point.

This is very fascinating though. I'm glad this was done.
