Clearly this was a very cool in depth look but I think America was a little tired of the story. Between the other doc done and the A&E show being put out just before this, the story had been told over and over. That being said, this was definitely the most in depth and will probably live on in history. Kudos to the team - must have been quite the undertaking.

This guy is guilty as sin. He is nothing but an egotistical butt head. He killed Ron Goldman & Nicole with not remorse what so ever. He deserves to stay in jail in NV for the rest of his life. It will more than likely save another woman for another horrific death. When even some of the jurors stated that they voted not guilty because of revenge of Rodney King that was so wrong. Mark Furhman is also a butt head for his remarks, but that does not excuse OJ to get away with murder. When even his best friend & manager states he's guilty...that say something. I hope to God that all of the money from all of the shows that have been on lately, that the money will go to the Browns & Simpsons. Even his friend Kardashian look astonished with the not guilty verdict.

I recently watched Making a Murder, the Netflix documentary about a criminal case, and part of the reason that worked was that I did not know anything about where it was going. After finishing it, I did wonder how it would play out if I already knew what the outcome was, and all the detail on the way. Those same thoughts occurred to me as I decided to watch this 7+ hour documentary series. Being in Northern Ireland at the time with few channels and limited connection to the US, I didn't have the obsession many seemed to, but certainly I knew all the names, all the details of the case, and so on. As a result I wondered if this would be essentially a summarized version of the case I already knew, and of a story that I was already up-to-date with.While that is essentially true, the documentary series is very well structured and laid out so that the case itself is almost a 'plot device', so to say, in a much bigger story. It unfolds on two levels – one is the character of OJ himself, the other is the rich landscape of race relations within the US. Both are equally compelling, and the series does well in how it connects and intertwines them. I knew the headlines, but the structure draws you into a much better level of appreciation for the depth of feeling, and where OJ put himself within that landscape (before and after the trial). The trial itself is engaging, but all the more so for having the context of the political and personal. There are plenty of great contributions to give the archive footage a framing; the obvious names are there – but it is often those I did not know that added the most value (the few jurors for example).A seven hour documentary about OJ sounds like a tough sell – particularly outside of the US where perhaps the obsession was less; however it is a series worth seeing because it touches on so much and highlights a lot about the man, the system, the background, race relations, the media, and much more. It is engaging, troubling, sobering, informative, insightful, and very well delivered – easily worth the time.

O.J.: Made in America is the Oscar winner for best documentary in 2016 and its well deserved. What a documentary. There is so much detail in this and so many questions answered that we didn't know would or could be answered about the infamous O.J Simpson case.I'm normally not a documentary type-guy but this had me floored. It's such an amazing piece of artistry, and being a young European I hadn't actually heard of this case before which meant that I was amazed all the way through.I first watched the dramatization of the story in The People v. O.J Simpson: American Crime story and honestly it just made this documentary even better as they're not acting. These events has ACTUALLY happened.Some may argue that it's very long for a documentary (7hr 47 min), but honestly the backstory which we get in the first couple of episodes is time well spent. It makes the impact of the final chapters of this story so much larger and makes for a more emotional ending.What made me love this story and documentary so much is that it has made me think so much about this case. I've finished the documentary a week ago and I'm STILL thinking about this documentary. That's how good it is.Wow, what a story and what an ending. Incredible. I would definitely recommend this documentary to anyone who loves film and who loves definitive stories. However, I think the documentary will have the biggest impact on you if you haven't heard much about the story and aren't fully aware of everything that happened to O.J Simpson. That being said you will still have an amazing time watching this documentary regardless if you know about the origins of this case or not.
