All Critics (79) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (76) | 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.
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.
The series feels hyper-real, hypnotic, and more relevant now than ever.
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.
There are numerous surprises, including how riveting the tale is in this telling.
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delivered a drama that's both as soapy as you'd expect from the man who created Nip/Tuck and surprisingly genuine as historical document.
Audience Reviews for American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson
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.
