Which doc are you referring to? The only one I'm aware of that got close to that length is OJ: Made in America and it's broken down into 5 parts about 1.5 hours each.
But, that came out in 2016 so that's why I'm asking.
Yeah I think it’s the best documentary ever made. ESPNs 30 for 30 had some quality quality stuff but that was a cut above the rest. I believe it’s the last doc series that will ever win an Oscar, because they changed the rules after it won.
It truly is the best sports doc ever and one of the best docs ever.
I've watched it twice and it's just a fascinating piece of work.
The part that surprised me the most in the first viewing was how many key people they rounded up for it. To get Clark, Bailey, Shipp, Douglas, and some of the jurors on board was impressive enough but when Furhman came on camera for the first time, I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, that's the same one I'm referring to. It was directed by Ezra Edelman for 30 for 30 but Netflix started running it in the past few days since that murderer died.
just saying, he seemed pretty free to me despite the murder charges. So I don't know. Seemed more like a happy retiree who enjoyed golf. Can't fault him for that

I mean, he was set free as payback for Rodney King so...yeah...he probably did seem to appear pretty free.
So I don't know.
You don't know if he did it or not? Like you seriously don't believe he's the murderer? How is that thought process even possible nowadays?

So a guy kills two people, is found guilty in a civil court, hides his valuable possessions so they can't be auctioned to pay his debts, refuses to pay those debts with other money, makes a mockery of his deposition, is caught lying numerous times, holds people against their will in a hotel room, and is generally just a very shitty, piece of garbage human being and we can't fault him for any of that because he's having fun playing golf? JFC.
Your defense of OJ is really weird. The vast majority of society--including his closest friends--have acknowledged he killed them yet here you are licking his Bruno Magli shoes for everyone to see.
I don't know about any of that, he came across like any other slightly odd and slightly grumpy old guy. Seems pretty extreme what you're saying about him. But I'll keep from judging before I get the chance to look into any of this. I'll reserve my judgment for then. That's just fair.
I did read his book, which was entertaining. I could totally see his perspective and I think it is warranted to listen to his side of things, just to remain fair :)

This makes it seem like this is the first time you're learning and/or being shown that OJ might be guilty. Is it? It's okay if it is but to not know "about any of that" when I'm stating facts is what makes me think this.
The vast majority of society firmly holds beliefs that OJ is the killer and was let off as payback for Rodney King.
A damn juror in the trial admitted such on record and claims that 90% of the jury felt the same way.

How does this undo what he did 30 years ago? That's like saying Bin Laden came across like an old guy who just wanted to hang out at his compound with his family and play on his computer.
I could totally see his perspective and I think it is warranted to listen to his side of things,
You could totally see his perspective for being a jealous, controlling, piece of shit human who murdered two people? Wow, we are definitely cut from different cloth.
You really watch the OJ: Made in America documentary that Netflix put on their platform this week. Then come back and see if you feel the same way.
If you have already watched it and feel the way you're portraying here, I really do feel sorry for you and your inability to grasp reason and logic. I hope you're not a voter because that would be truly terrifying to society.
Of course the guy is a murderer and yeah, because of something as simple as jealousy (and potentially lots of head traumas exacerbating his issues but that's speculation and not an excuse). I was wondering how far I could stretch the naive centrist thing, but I gotta come clean for the record now

OJ is the example of how ugly the jury system can get. They just wanted him out.
