TV: The People Vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story

[epilogue]

Could be a really fantastic season of television depending on what the focus ends up being. I kinda liked the "true crime" element of S1 and was really hoping for another true crime story for S2. So, I'm a little bummed that this might not really focus on real people. I'm also concerned by what "The show will broaden its definition of “crime”" means. That sounds worrisome.

It's probably about that cop that shot a guy during the evacuation.

Could be. I was thinking it could also be about that category 5 hurricane that destroyed a major U.S. city.

I assume it will be about the Governments failed action in cleanup and rescue.

I didn't realize hurricanes were crimes.

only when they hit white areas

That's a bold choice for a second-season topic, especially since Treme has covered the ground quite well already. I don't think Treme was perfect--it's definitely way, way below the heights reached by The Wire and SMAH, Simon's other helmed projects--but it had a very distinct texture that would be hard to top.

It's telling that one of the main guys behind Treme is also behind this. And he insists this will be different.

I hope Travolta plays G W Bush

[epilogue]

Based on that Hollywood Reporter link I posted, I'm guessing John Travolta really wants to play John Travolta.

[Meddle]

Travolta was the worst part of The People vs OJ Simpson. I hope he sits this next one out.

[dprival78]

I hope Travolta plays G W Bush

So is this worth continuing? I watched the first episode and it left me with an overwhelming sense of 'Meh!'

Absolutely

Yes. 100 %.

Embrace the campy-ness, that's part of what they're doing. And enjoy. The first two episodes are the weakest. Then it transforms into one of the best series of TV I can remember in a while. It's fantastic.

Is there a season 2 thread?
1 was better imo

I swore I started one, but I guess not.

Yeah, Season 1 was better.

[Strat]
