It’s better than Making a Murderer IMO

I think I fancy 2003 David Rudolf

Also, nothing to do with the series but it’s a bit mad the jump between the visual quality in the early 00s to present day. It reminds me of when I first watched something in HD on my ex bfs parents tv and was all like WOW, It’s almost too real.

Seen the first 5 episodes. Kind of assuming he did it as they seem to be pushing us towards thinking he didn’t do it and they’ll need a good twist.

Or maybe I’ve just watched too many netflix crime documentaries

I totally agree! I couldn’t believe how rubbish the original 2003 series looked compared to the new episodes.

They’ve got to stop stretching interesting 60-90 minute documentaries out to 6, 8, 12 episodes. It’s fucking stupid, irrespective of how many plot twists there might be. TV’s making us all dumber.

Got to say I mainly agree with you but OJ: Made In America bucks that trend massively

Watched the first 2 new ones last night and you’re not wrong. Needs better editing, too many 3 minute cuts of yer boi waffling on and going round in a circle.

Yeah, I find the amount of this in the new ones a bit unedifying in all honesty. Often a flaw with documentaries like this in that they end up very one-sided and in highlighting one injustice kind of pave over the literal death of a human being. Whilst Candace’s rant in court at the end there is almost comically over the top, I could sympathise with it to a degree I’m not sure the filmmakers intended.

Yeah lots of jokey asides about his dead wife, very odd. Also he’s all ‘I cry at anything’ but didn’t really seem too moved when he was talking about finding his wife at the bottom of the stairs. Rudolf mentioned the owl in episode 2 which I was a fan of.

I’m of the opinion (as with Making a Murderer) that he did it but that he also did not get anything even approaching a fair trial, both cases should have been retried properly.

OJ isn’t really a true crime doc though. Explores into so many areas of gender, fame, racial history etc. That it needs it’s running time

Aye, but all of that stuff is framed (crucially) as backdrop and context to the trial which is the main event of the whole thing though innit.

#39

Oh for sure. But it’s pretty rare to have a case where so much context is actually relevant and necessary

#40

Aye, fair point.

#41

have just started watching this. don’t understand why they’re filming it in the first place?
