More Critic Reviews for American Crime Story The People v. O.J. Simpson All Critics (84) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (81) | Rotten (3) This is one of the most well-crafted and brilliantly performed miniseries in a long time. And that it manages to be so addictive, despite its infamous ending, is a testament to its incredible storytelling powers. Dec 14, 2016 | Full Review… Wenlei Ma News.com.au Top Critic Thoroughly absorbing through the first six episodes made available for review, it fully lives up to the FX come-on: "You Don't Know the Half of It." This is true even for those who think they do. Jan 29, 2016 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The series feels hyper-real, hypnotic, and more relevant now than ever. Jan 25, 2016 | Full Review… Tim Molloy TheWrap Top Critic The cast is the highlight here, with special nods toward Sarah Paulson's Marcia Clark and, shockingly, Mr. Travolta's portrayal of Shapiro, which is just enough parts measured and absurd to be a scene-stealer. Jan 19, 2016 | Full Review… Vinnie Mancuso Observer Top Critic There are numerous surprises, including how riveting the tale is in this telling. Feb 2, 2016 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic Alexander and Karaszewski have delivered a drama that's both as soapy as you'd expect from the man who created Nip/Tuck and surprisingly genuine as historical document. Feb 2, 2016 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic The People v OJ Simpson worked so well not just because it was deftly written and beautifully acted, but also because knowing the outcome made the story feel, if anything, even more astonishing than it did at the time. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… James Walton The Spectator A guilty pleasure, schadenfreude, there but for the grace of God etc... Call it whatever you want but re watching the O.J. show armed with new information via great performances is as fun as it gets on TV. Aug 30, 2018 | Full Review… Anne Brodie What She Said The People v. O. J. Simpson is a fictionalized TV show about a real event that blurred the lines between entertainment and reality. Even as we see the irony in the situation, we find ourselves unable to look away. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review… Kathryn Reklis The Christian Century If you never heard of [Sterling K. Brown and Billy Magnussen] before, you will remember them after their brilliant embodiments of [their] characters. Jun 26, 2018 | Full Review… Cameron Ferguson Black Girl Nerds View All Critic Reviews (84) Audience Reviews for American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson ½ Certainly powerful and well acted (by Paulson), American Crime Story season one is bound to make the audience craving for more while being angered by the injustice in the American legal system. SylvesterK Super Reviewer familiars Super Reviewer LucasM Super Reviewer Brilliant acting (especially from Paulson and Vance) as well as excellent and confident writing, directing, and cinematography, make The People v.s.
