TV Reviews: "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" — Page 2

He's quite terrible!

I feel like I have never watched another human smoke as much as I have seen Sarah Paulson smoke in various roles in the last ten years. I'm going to miss her when she's gone.

Schwimmer doesn't really bother me (Friends for life!), but I think you're dreaming if you don't think there's gonna be something with the Kardashian kids every week.

Tag, the white-Bronco chase was famously referred to as the "slow-speed chase" here in Southern California. The escort had to keep the speed down because negotiations were ongoing and they were clearing the freeway ahead of it. It was more a procession than a chase.

How many episodes are there supposed to be? They devoted 2 hours to the "chase", almost as if they were presenting it in real time.

But it's nice we all learned to spell "Kardashian". I'm sure that's what people had in mind back in the 1950s when they talked about the medium of television and its "educational" potential.

It seems to me that much of the first episode was devoted to the event as well. I guess I'm thinking of the entire time from when Simpson was first found to be missing until he got to Rockingham as the "chase", even though law enforcement didn't know where he was for the first few hours.

Anyhow, that's how I got to two hours: counting two episodes. I would have expected the chase to wrap up by the end of the first episode.

They could have spent some of that air time on Ms. Simpson's funeral, which by all accounts was a drama in itself.

At the rate they're going, that won't even cover Mark Furman's testimony.

Travolta gets high praise from this side of the pond ...

yeah, last night's episode was terrific outside of Travolta's on & off accents. Courtney B. Vance & Sarah Paulson are the true highlights of this miniseries.

Why is John Travolta speaking like Dr. Evil in the role? Bob Shapiro doesn't sound like that.

Talk about your closed-fist compliments to Mr Travolta at the article linked above:

He is physically grotesque, with the bloated carcass of a beached whale, and his head seems to have been so remodelled that it slopes back, like an Easter Island statue.

Bump

I think the episode last night was the best of the bunch. It was more of an ensemble piece and there was a lot of conflict between different characters, I loved Connie Britten and I giggled through everything she was doing. .She very carefully did not cross the line of parody.

Cuba looks absolutely nothing like OJ so there ya go....
