    Very high quality work to be sure. However, it is frightening that we live in an age where individualism is vilified when not in service of the herd.

    O.J.: Made in America is somehow even more engrossing than its fictionalized counterpart, meticulously fleshing out not only the details of the trial, but also the larger stories of race, celebrity, and misogyny that intersected around Simpson. ... Some of the most compelling television of the year.

    OJ is no rehash. FX's brilliant The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story hewed to the criminal trial, beginning with a murder and ending with a verdict.

Simpson comes across, ultimately, as a cipher.
