Finished watching the series on Netflix about the O.J. Simpson case. Impressed with the writing and acting, though I do wonder just how much liberty was taken with the facts of the case. I've got a feeling it was all even messier than the mess we saw on screen. Must say, I thought overall a sane kind of balance was created in terms of allowing a range of perspectives to emerge.
I liked the sense created of the hollowness of O.J.'s 'victory'. The final scenes centred on the man himself felt deeply uneasy, and rightly so.
How strange it all was. And how reflective of America, its problems and its promise. And how sad in terms of the damage done to so many. Probably some still going on.
