I thought this would be overkill after the FX mini series; but it is very well done. Anyone watching? Who knew his Dad was gay?!?!

Very interesting show!!
They said a reason for one of Nicoles beatings is that she had a gayfriend and he didnt want his son Justin exposed to him

I like this program much more than the FX mini-series. The People vs OJ Simpson was good, but I always found that I was more focused on how successfully/unsuccessfully the actors looked like, or acted like their real world counterparts.
ESPN's documentary is a better presentation to my tastes because the facts (and how they are presented to indicate who OJ was, as a person) are fascinating and riveting enough. I really got into their analyses of where OJ fit into the culture of the time, the Hertz commercials, and especially the choice to be "Black" or to be "OJ".

It sucked, it displayed nothing new, maybe good for young kids, but for us older folks, crap. The hype over this was crap.

I'm not finding that to be true for me (as an "older folk"

I liked the way it paralleled his life with the black movement and displayed him as a self created persona who had no idea who he really was. I also thought it was interesting how the his manager pretty much indicated that OJ had confessed to him. His story had all the elements of a riveting drama. You could not write it any better. I was also happy that they spent time on his downward spiral after the trial.
I must say he was one fine looking young man and what a chameleon! So clueless at times and brilliantly opportumistic at others.

Just finished watching part 3, and I am still FASCINATED, even 22 years later at this story. The documentary is very, very well done, and really shines a light on OJ's motivations and what was happening in the culture leading up to the famous car chase. It really was the perfect storm of culture, crime, color, and celebrity all happening at once.

What I took away from it was no different than what most of the reviewers who gave it rave reviews took away from it. Your remarks offered no specifics as to why you did not care for the documentary. Did you watch all 10 hours of it? Your bitter verbiage was so basic it sounded like it came out of the mouth of Donald Trump.
