This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen, and honestly, one of the most overrated shows in TV history. Its mediocrity is due to many reasons, but the main one is that it's all over the place thematically. It often feels like high camp, then gets overly serious and self-righteous, then get mildly satiric (showing the OJ trial as a circus, which is pretty much was at the time), then goes over the top again, etc.. It has terrible, cringey dialogue, over the top performances (Cuba Gooding Jr. And the guy who played Fred Goldman come to mind). That's coupled with terrible acting, with special mention going to David Schimmer. He is hilariously bad as Robert Kardashian. The over the top camera moves don't help either. I feel they were used to cover up the total lack of substance in this series. The series often feels cobbled together with no real flow to it, and most of the script reads like a first draft that the screenwriters (Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski) never polished. Hard to believe the 2 guys who wrote The People vs. Larry Flynt and Ed Wood wrote this inane, silly garbage. The series should have concentrated on how the DA's office screwed up a simple case and essentially let a murderer go free. Since it tries to cover so much ground, it doesn't work and is often abysmal. Why it won so many Emmys is beyond me.
