Ryan Murphy’s second anthology series, after American Horry Story, is focused on one major crime story a year, and he has started with OJ Simpson being accused and tried for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend. Without even watching the non-stop coverage of the events when they actually occurred in the mid-1990s, I ODed on OJ, so I’ve not been excited by Murphy’s take, since Murphy can go over-the-top and high-camp when it’s not always a great idea. But I’ve DVRed the show because the buzz has been deafening and the casting is astonishing — Cuba Gooding Jr. as OJ Simpson, John Travolta as Robert Shapiro and Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark.
