More Critic Reviews for American Crime Story The People v. O.J. Simpson All Critics (86) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (83) | 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delivered a drama that's both as soapy as you'd expect from the man who created Nip/Tuck and surprisingly genuine as historical document.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 We may all know the ending, but the series looks to be packed with nail-biting tension, stand-out performances and compelling insights into one of the most infamous court cases in U.S. legal history. Jul 9, 2019 | Full Review… Ailis Brennan GQ Magazine [UK] A triumphant debut for American Crime Story. Powered by strong performances, the show offers a fascinating, riveting look at the complex cloud that engulfed a murder trial... Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review… Sameen Amer The News International (Pakistan) 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 View All Critic Reviews (86) Audience Reviews for American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson Jun 10, 2019 Holy shit, you have to see this Akshay G Jun 09, 2019 I expected slightly more from all the hype I had heard. It was interesting to see the intricacies of such a high profile case, but as we all knew the outcome, it lacked drama towards the end when it needed it. Toby H Apr 20, 2019 With an organized episode direction, a clever and wonderful script, impeccable makeup, and an exceptional and charming cast, which includes Sterling K. Brown, Cuba Gooding Jr., Nathan Lane, Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, John Travolta, and Courtney B. Vance, American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson is simply extraordinary ANDREY A Mar 20, 2019 While the OJ case will always be a popular and socially dividing topic, "The People v. OJ" covers both the biggest and smallest moments through the trials and controversies with some brilliant writing and award-winning performances - even if some of the actors don't look like the people they are portraying. Ryan C Nov 04, 2018 As escolhas para os atores desta temporada foram acertadas, uma vez que os mesmos eram semelhantes aos envolvidos na história real. O enredo foi narrado com uma precisão e um profissionalismo notáveis. Gonçalo S Oct 07, 2018 Despite poor performances from Cuba Gooding Jr. and John Travolta American Crime Story is compelling on nearly every other level. The rest of the performances are great and the storytelling is phenomenal. Good B Sep 19, 2018 Having not known anything about the trial, this ten episode special was a great historical lesson. Based on some googling, it seems to have been true to reality. The show was captivating, engaging and well shot. However, it wasn't breathtaking or thought provoking. It is a good show, but not a memerable one. Daniel O Sep 17, 2018 Absolutely loved this show! Great cast Sep 12, 2018 Ryan Murphy is the king of FX, and for good reason. American Crime Story finds extraordinary success through its direction, emotional provocation, and impassioned, career-defining performances from Sarah Paulson, Sterling K. Brown, and Courtney B. Vance.
