Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Seen some cracking reviews of this and was wondering if it was going to shown over here at some point. I remember the real trial so very well. I was addicted to it to be honest. It made me realise I was be absolutely rubbish at jury duty as I actively willed the prosecution to muck it up at times, because I wanted him to be found not guilty for some strange reason. If the glove doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 It starts on BBC2 next week I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 You aren't a useless c**t at all Chris. Don't listen to them. That is excellent news, but one can't binge watch on council telly, can one? Edit :- And an advert was on just before the news. Monday 9pm. Still trying to work out who John Travolta is meant to be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Travolta is playing Robert Shapiro, think he was part of Johnny Cochrane's team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Aye, I remember him. Slippery customer. Well, they all were to be fair. And that was what made it must watch television at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Glued to the tv every day when I came home from school. It was ground breaking telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I remember one night, my mate phoned and asked me if I was going out for a pint. Nope, Mark Furhman is on the stand tonight and will be under cross examination. I am watching that instead. He didn't even laugh at me when I said it.

Boostin' Kev Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Only half watched it as wasn't enjoying it, girlfriend liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sugden Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Did laugh when David Schwimmer popped up with that hairdo! Travolta looked like a melted waxwork of himself. It's pretty awful but I found it quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I really liked the first episode. Travolta just isn't real it's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieT1314 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just watched the first episode, quite enjoyed it. Dont know much about the case so looking forward to the rest of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I can't quite remember watching the case nor do I remember following it when I was younger. So although I know what exactly happens, I find this quite gripping TV. Cuba Gooding Jr. has been immense thus far. I have seen the three episodes that have aired in the States so far. David Schwimmer plays Robert Kardashian very well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Watched the first three episodes of this and I'm quite enjoying it so far. Still can't think of anything apart from Ross Geller when David Schwimmer is on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I enjoyed it despite John Travolta hamming things up and the unnecessary time spent with Kardashian children, the guy who played Johnnie Cochran was really well done this far and Cuba Gooding Jr Is one of my favourite actors. Ross Gellar as Kim Ks da was quite funny, he was pretty good even if he's the guy that's been portrayed the most positively so far outside of the prosecution woman. At least he's working.

MarkoRaj Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Watched the first episode and liked it but it seemed like an advert for the Kardashians at times. I think they all managed to get a mention. Was before my time so I'll probably watch it through. Unless anyone knows of any documentaries that might tell the story better?

Dindeleux Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just watched the first episode and I thought it was fantastic to be honest. I was 8 when the OJ murder trial was on so only really remember it being on the news and don't know too much more around the detail, other than the infamous car chase. I know we went through similar with Pistorious in the modern day but imagine this had happened now. Facebook would be unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's insane to go from making a Murderer to this. The timeline, the blood, the eyewitnesses, everything that was missing from avery's case is present here and we're only one episode in. Amazing to think of the outcomes of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Watched the first two episodes last night, and have episode three to watch later. Very 'Americanised', almost to a flaw, but it's understandable given the show is titled "American Crime Story". Really entertaining watch though, even with the artistic license throughout - the crowbarring in of the Kardashian kids is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just caught the second episode, its pretty good I think, I can't remember much about the real case. The constant wedging in of the various kardashians is really starting to annoy me though! Especially since they have nothing to do with the story.
