re Kardashian: and look where all his loyalty got him.

M'no. A defense attorney's job is to ensure a fair trial and to rigorously defend a client's rights. Period. All else is a matter of money traded for ethics and truth.

Hm, not sure about petty… add, the jurors were in the pressure cooker unable to relax independently while living with strangers - unlike the actual prisoner with above-normal privileges, laughing and joking with actual friends. Then add the jury's loyal, predisposed opinion of his innocence as tho he was THEIR friend.

I think that's the intended effect. Talk about "Seinfeld - a show about nothing" during an episode of people reduced to petty behavior by all parties, totally underscores the deafening silence of the victims and their families.

It WAS cartoonish, but only because the jurors were reduced to children - in juvey no less - who had to huddle around >> a single TV << bickering over selection of ONE show, with the guards' patronizing refereeing. The fuse was lit long ago, but BLAM!, no wonder there are more reforms and second thoughts about

The 3rd month in a 9 month trial is not that late. They had to deal with foundation, domestic violence and physical/trace evidence first. Myriad motions and hearings delayed things too. This is a nonlinear time format, so maybe check into real life events for the timeline. And DNA presented at any time with that

Yep we talked about that below, OJ praising Kramer which calls back to Richards' 2006 N-word rant later. The series has all kinds of ironic and 'look how that turned out' pop-culture goodies baked into it, as you know.
Poker face, yep, he turns it on and off when he wants to. But the poker game itself portends his

I dunno, Robert's scene with Kris saying 'half the world hates me… how will that affect them [the kids]?' - as he points out the window to seemingly normal children playing - was pretty damn funny.

I swear Gooding turned into Norma Desmond when he said glaze-eyed 'yes, rehearse!' The line between acting and real life. Gone. Delusional.

His faith in OJ could have been one of the nails in his own coffin too. Lotta people died around OJ.

Haha, this time Cochran was Jan.

Think… Michael Richards N-word rant 11 years later… the point of that scene.

Maybe Scheck will be back as long as the focus is on BEHIND THE SCENES human drama [what this show's about] that played into the procedural courtroom drama that we DID see.

Your OJ/Trump/reality show point… spot on. The timing of this series for 2016 is perfect.

First off… dude aka OJ murdered two people in Brentwood, in the Santa Monica jurisdiction. It was the DA's office that moved it FROM the wealthy white neighborhood - who could afford time and money lost - to the patchy DTLA one where incomes and families suffered more quickly. That aside, sequestering people in a

I think the jiggly camera thing is to remind us of TV production from the mid '90s. Then take Dramamine after.

The camera work of those Ross and marital rape bits was sooo Boston Legal and The Office too.

It's a call back IRL 2006 to Michael Richards' Laugh Factory comedy bit with the N-word rant. Yeah. OJ had his finger somewhere where he thought he was immune. The whole show has an web of these interwoven events in nonlinear time.
