Completes the whole picture.....

I started watching this TV Series right after watching Documentary O.J Made in America. This 2 films are so completing each other, TV series is digging deeper into each character, sort of tells the story of key figures in O.J's life and trial. But if you have seen the documentary first, there will be few things what wouldn't fit, and first of all it's O.J's character. O.J's personality in the Documentary was really different from how he was presented in this TV Series. Cuba Gooding Jr, was the worst choice from my opinion for this role. O.J in his interviews looks very cold minded, confident and selfish and physically very strong athlete. Gooding was nowhere close to this, instead he portrayed O.J as a coward, whiny and weak person. But this is probably the only thing I didn't like about this film and for some it would seem not a big deal. The way camera moves, the way it is filmed was brilliant, the rest of the characters like Marcia Clark, Robert Kardashian, Judge Lance Ito and many others were a perfect match. But the best thing about this movie is focusing on characters around the trial and the "behind the scenes" for each end every one of them ! It's unbelievable what this people went through, so much hypocrisy, so much hate towards each other, so much ignorance of the fact that 2 human beings were slaughtered, it's very touching and makes you think and value life ! I know this film is based on terrible facts but it really moved me.
