The People vs. O.J. Simpson

Yeah. That was brutal to watch. So unnecessary. At the risk of sounding like Buck, this isn't nearly as good as I thought, or was hoping, it'd be. Not bad enough to get me to stop watching (like my wife), but man. Every week with the stupid Kardashian kids.

 

Soooo...which kid is Kim? (Asking for a friend)
I keed, I keed.

Wow. They dropped a MFer bomb on FX? I mean, maybe FXX, but sheesh!

 

It actually made me angry. I was annoyed by the first couple of references, but to lead the episode with that horseshit? Insulting to the viewers' intelligence. And I didn't like the implication that Robert was some moral beacon who counseled them not to chase fame but mom led them down that road. Even if the latter part is probably true. I'm sure Kris is enjoying the show.

 

The thing is, OJ was a USC legend living in Los Angeles. He had a great NFL career and was later in movies. I absolutely believe he thought he was untouchable.

 

I'm not sure what's more annoying, the portrayal of Robert Kardashian or the inclusion of his kids. I complained about the kids earlier in this thread, but am floored that they've been in every episode. That's absurd.

I want to believe Robert Kardashian really was just being a loyal friend to OJ, but he comes off as a delusional wuss. I hope he didn't really worship OJ as much as it seems. Maybe that explains why he could simply take OJ's word for it that he had nothing to do with the murders, given the evidence against him.

 

I watched it on the app because my DVR didn't record it for whatever reason, and was wondering if that made it into the over-the-air broadcast.

And yeah, making the Kardashian kids part of the story is such a cheap ploy to get the E! generation to blog about it and discuss it on social media. I mean, the story's not tabloidy enough?

 

Is there a doubt that Kris slept with OJ during her marriage and while OJ was married too?

 

It'd be in keeping with her tendency to be an awful human being.

 

In the first ep, who was the woman OJ was shown in bed with at the Kardashian house?

 

Traci Adell maybe?

 

Paula Barbieri

O.J. Simpson's ex Paula Barbieri now married to a top Florida judge

 

Don't think so. O.J. famously broke up with Barbieri over the phone on the day of the murders.
