There was only one Nazi medal in the collection, as far as I could tell, which on its own does not mean much. I've posted a detailed comment here, but I can now see this is the more relevant place for it.

I can't identify Wagner's overtures by name yet, but I still recognised it as Wagner, a composer known both for his anti-Semitism and for the popularity of his work amongst the Nazis. The combination of the swastika and Wagner therefore shouts "Nazis" quite loudly for a lot of people, even without their being aware of…

Even two months ago I think most people didn't expect Trump to go that far, so I doubt it could have been much of a factor while this series was filmed. Still, some common themes there. Blinkers are a universal phenomenon.

It's probably not a factor for people like me, who are not familiar with O.J. Simpson himself (I'd only seen his face a couple of times until now), but from what I have read in the comments of these reviews, I do wish we could have seen more clearly the effect of his commanding presence in a few scenes where it would…

That conversation (well, monologue) gave me pause. If Dunne's claims are true, then the Browns were far more culpable than the police for not protecting their daughter from Simpson; the implication here is that they pushed her to stay with an abusive husband because he ensured them access to a life of privilege,…

I didn't even notice the one with the football players; I only knew about the one with the girl, which was actually first shown early in the episode, though in the background (on a wall in Cochran's office).

Clearly you missed the scene where, amid all the applause, an earnest young man in a black suit got up and left, disgusted with what was happening. The camera lingered on him quite a while; it was a beautiful counterpoint to all the action on-stage, symbolising all that is wrong with the superficiality of the modern…

You know, the more I think about the film the more I remember about it, and yet I had to be reminded that John Cusack was the villain. I had completely forgotten about it.

You're probably right; it's the usual thing to do, and it tends to work well. Showing us Simpson in the act of robbing… some place (I have deliberately avoided looking into details) would be priceless, although it would probably ruin the tone of the ending. Ah, well. Perhaps they could simply direct us towards a film…

She was a police captain.

Quite, but while the original Council grows ever smaller, Simpson's never seems to stop expanding.

His silence was long enough that I thought he had capitulated, but apparently he was just waiting for the last possible moment before exiting the lift. Apparently he considered it beneath him to even argue his refusal to his colleagues.

They even showed a chessboard in the foreground while he was scheming with Cochran against Shapiro. The director's way of saying "look, strategy!"

It's almost described as a cutting-edge science, and it makes sense that a prosecutor wouldn't think much of it until seeing it in practice. That was before Runaway Jury came out, of course. :-)

I got that as well, and it had side-effects: when I later saw Larry King's name, I wasn't entirely sure what it meant; his appearance in the series came as a complete surprise to me.

There was some of that here, too. Kenneth Choi's name appeared directly below the little "Lance A. Ito" sign next to the judge's door as his wife was knocking on it. It was a nicely framed little joke.

His reaction to the "gold digger" dismissal of Nicole by a section of the public seemed naive to me. Perhaps she wasn't, but Kardashian ought to be able to see why people would think like that, and why that mattered.

Goodness, that was hilarious. "Grave concerns"? Talk about hair-splitting!

Television does play its part, and the power of the image (especially moving, constantly available image) is not to be underestimated. That said, I don't think we're likely to forget about Charles Manson* any time soon, especially with the continuing Polanski saga.

Do we know that the aftermath of the trial will be compressed in the same episode as the verdict? I'm watching this series from Greece with my family, who know little about the case. I've told them that Simpson was eventually acquitted, but they have no idea he is in prison right now, so I really wonder how the series…
