American Crime Story 2016

Sarah Paulson and Courtney B Vance will be up for Emmys. Great acting and somehow compelling even though we all know what happens.

For me this was great tv show that showed just how the US audience was captivated by all this drama unfolding, myself not being american knows very little about>thankfully!
This show thou is a must and clearly demonstrates artfully imo the personal and professional struggles of this epic true story of the people involved. Great tv

Penelope Cruz ruined the show. God she is bad.

As somebody who is not American and has never really been exposed to either this case or any of the people involved: is OJ really as dumb as he is presented here? He seems positively mentally disabled in some scenes! That aside, the show is decent enough. The performances are for the biggest part pretty great, everything else ranges from ok to decent enough. I don't find it very compelling, but I think that's down to me not having any prior ties to the story: I'm enjoying it as if it were pure fiction rather than a fictionalized account of reality. And it sure as hell is crazy enough to pass for fiction, mostly due to the ridiculously broken American legal system.

Not quite as dramatic as the real case - but almost! Excellent writing and casting.

this series is phenomenal! so good! perfect casting and amazing acting! all of the actors could go for an Emmy's (especially Paulsen, Vance and Swimmer).
smart and sharp writing which keeps you intensified all the time! you change sides all the time!
best drama so far!

good show the second season is in development, and it will focus on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. why would they do a show about Hurricane Katrina when there are plenty of other crime stories in american history like the manson murders, jim jones Jonestown Massacre, jonbenet ramsey, menendez brothers, amy fisher, the zodiac killer, jeffrey dahmer. ETC... come on people.

This series has garnered a lot of award attention, so I sought it out. I remember the original media frenzy around this trial that was played out in our living room. The phenomenon launched Court TV and a bevy of reality court shows. Even though it played out during my time, the series filled in some of the details not so apparent at the time, Excellent teleplay, integrity in the depictions and tone of the piece, and great performances (although I never really saw beyond Cuba Gooding to OJ). It's conclusions are sobering: the power of celebrity, the fear of racial violence, and the sad state of the American judicial system to be so susceptible to petty manipulation. I give it a solid 8.5 (great drama) out of 10.

I found it entertaining, after living through the actual events with the rest of America.

A really entertaining show, just zipped along, pure farce for the most part and very funny! Slightly at odds with the subject matter and you sincerely hope things weren't as black and white as presented (pun intended).. Were the jury really that stupid? I found the sad/emotional scenes involving the victims' families a little disingenuous as the rest played out like a comedy. I agree that the actress playing Marcia was superb. The judge was by far the most likeable character and the only one to come out of the mess with any credit.... Had similarities with the Steven Avery case although OJs lawyers were more successful in alleging a police made conspiracy!

only ever watched the first season as i was only interested in the OJ case, but that season was amazing and would definitely recommend

I was alive during the OJ case but i was only 12 so a lot of the details i had "heard" but never understood fully until i re-watched all of thisand it was fascinating, acting was superb too

Season 1: They couldn't have casted OJ any worse.
It's involuntarily funny, which I find inappropriate.
Apart from Cuba Gooding Jr. the acting and the characters are great.
(The real OJ wanted Denzel Washington to play his part. They took a considerably worse and a lot less masculine actor. If they wanted to piss OJ off, they did a good job casting C.G.J.)

Season 2: Great acting. But the story has too many different timelines, which are not in order. This makes it chaotic and sometimes hard to follow.
And as in season one, it's involuntarily funny, but the soundtrack is great.

All the seasons have been interesting and portray a detailed account of events in America; the trail of OJ, the assassination of Versace and the impeachment of Clinton. Brilliant acting and very gripping

I had no idea about any of the real events the storylines are based on, I found it was enjoyable to watch.

I found that the second season was much more interesting and better captioned than the first season. Would rate first season as 7/10 and second season as 10/10

I just skipped season 2, I couldn't bare to watch it was horrible compared to the 1st.Season,I hope there will be a great 3rd.Season coming.

One of the best TV dramas on today! I mean the director picked the right actors and actress to play each characters role. Can't wait for season 2!

Just awful waste of talented people.
