LOL. No charges due to lack of evidence??? Really? Because a nationally televised police chase including a recorded mobile phone call isn't proof enough apparently.

I guess when you place it in the context of the times they were in - OJ was a huge national figure, LA was still reeling from the Rodney King riots - sensitivity was at an all-time high. Erring on the side of caution was probably the word being given them from the higher ups.

Marcia Clarke, right at the end. I didn't think it was allowed either.

The MF-bomb affected quite a few viewers according to the article linked below. It's not the first time it's been uttered on a basic cable show, but it is the first time it's been uttered on a prime-time, basic cable scripted show: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/17/people-oj-simpson

From that link, lol: Still, there’s arguably an even worse hot-button word being repeatedly uttered on People v. O.J. Simpson. And it’s a word that had Twitter users far more upset last night: “Kardashian.” I did think there were a lot of Kardashians last night! I saw an interview where Kris said they'd spoken to her about the portrayal, but at the moment they're getting a good edit... who knows if they actually deserved it!

i cant even recognize Nathan Lane - great acting job - and makeup...am i HOPE courtney vance gets a nomination - actually i am hoping the whole show gets a lot of Emmy or Golden Globe nominations - Connie Britton is so great too... made me despise Faye so much... as she should be portrayed.

Legal those recaps are better than the show! And the show is terrific. Kind of like dessert after a good meal.

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/the-people-v-oj-simpson-american-crime-story-124955289.html that last camera shot was priceless - in a most horrific way - definitely will remember to ask "what kind" when people refer to WWII collectibles

I am finding John Travolta to be so miscast that it's distracting.

This really is casting Johny Cochrane in a bad light. The man is/was simply immoral. I feel for Chris Darden.
