Goddamnit Uverse. My DVR shows the episode recorded in full, but when I get to about 20 minutes, the recording stops and says it's finished. Gonna have to hunt this ep down via torrents.

Incredible episode. Seems each one gets better than the last. Every actor is amazing in his role. Watching the coming attractions for next week, I was sorry to see its the finale.

I made it through 6 episodes but I just found it pretty boring to be honest. Marcia Clark comes across as incompetent and the race element is overplayed.

I know a couple of people who have been DVRing so they could binge watch later on. Oddly, I didn't mind watching this show live week to week. I think knowing the outcome takes away a bit of the want to binge.

at everyone losing their shit listening to the Fuhrman tape.
Made him sound like a member of the KKK and slave owner. Holy shit that fucked up the prosecution's case. Plus the insult to Ito's wife
I loved how Ito censored the tapes afterwards. Johnnie seriously wanted another race riot.
Darden looked like he was going to have an aneurism in that penultimate court scene. Great acting by Sterling Brown.
Great episode.

I followed the case pretty closely at the time but somehow forgot that Fuhrman took the fifth in the trial. Especially the optics of being asked did you plant evidence in this case and not answering. I believe OJ definitely killed them but I can't begrudge jurors for coming back not guilty when the officer who found the evidence was such a detriment to the prosecution.

I've personally thought if not for Fuhrman, OJ would still be in jail. This show has only brought that back to the surface. Worst part of police corruption is that otherwise obviously guilty criminals (including murderers) get to walk free.
I still wonder exactly what this show is trying to put out there in regards to Cochran. In this episode they were clearly showing he wanted another race riot and really has no game other that screaming racism. The Fuhrman stuff landed in his lap and he still almost blew it. Not sure how much it really went down like that, but Darden is a saint for not giving Cochran what he was deserving in those exchanges. Contempt of court be damned.
But mostly I couldn't believe I had forgot that a TV show called A Current Affair actually used to exist. When saw that logo and hard that sound effect I was like... "oh yeah, I remember that!"

Wow, just wow.
I watched a Ton of this trial and I forgot a ton as well.
I wish I could go back and watch some of these real scenes again.
Best show of the year, and incredible performances all around. I've even warmed up to Cuba and Travolta. But Paulson has been stellar.
Sad to see it end...
Will def tune in to the next iteration these producers have earned that from me.

Same here. I ended up recording last night's airing after The Americans. They have the show available On Demand. I checked last night and they didn't have this episode available yet, but it may be there now.

So we can we just transfer into the realm of fiction and have another season with the same legal cast working on another case?? This has been the best season of TV this year...maybe in the last few years.

From "TV Guide":
Martin Sheen (The West Wing) is getting in on the O.J. Simpson trend with a docuseries about the famous former quarterback, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sheen is executive producing and narrating the six episode series, Hard Evidence: O.J. Is Innocent - which will attempt to prove that Simpson is innocent for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Simpson was acquitted for the famously dubbed "trial of the century" 20 years ago, but was found liable for the deaths the subsequent civil suit two years later. The question of whether O.J. actually committed the murders is still being debated.
O.J. Simpson is a hot topic in American homes for other reasons these days. The docuseries follows FX's big success with American Crime Story: The People vs O.J. Simpson and ESPN's upcoming O.J.: Made in America. The Sheen series is based on the book by William C. Dear, which promises "never before seen evidence" and a new theory as to how O.J.'s ex-wife and Goldman were killed.
The show will air on ID - Investigation Discovery - a cable network known for its murder and crime documentary dramas. The series will air in the first part of 2017.

And this episode reminded me of my loathing for Cochran. That asshole wanted to start a race riot to free a double murderer, and Ito damn near let him do it.

I bet you are upset about those uppity negroes that dared to sit at the white counters or in the front of the bus. How dare they risk the status quo.
Also just because you were there and witness the murders and can speak with 100% authority that OJ did it most of the world wasn't and requires proof. Well the non racist ones at least require proof. Other people I guess are ok with cops planting evidence to get to a faster verdict.

So you rather evidence of wide spread police corruption be allowed to remain hidden because it might cause a riot? You rather police go unchecked with the use of racist and illegal against american citizens because it might cause a riot?

It truly was a circus and I can't believe that whole thing with Furhman mentioning Ito's wife in the tapes really happened, I don't remember that happening. Just wow.
