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:

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 also had forgotten about the other lawyers. I love this show and its fascinating to watch all they all came together. I was shocked that OJ didnt want Johnnie at first

Anyone else get annoyed by how many times Rbert calls OJ Juice? lol on FB they made a drinking game haah

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.

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.
