Couldn't find the OG post but I'm hyped yo.

Hopefully this doesn't go off the rails like American Horror Story did with each consecutive Season.

Season 2 of ACS is gonna be about Hurricane Katrina which has me like :/. I wish this shit would focus on actual Crime shit and not allegorical crimes b.

Anyways this starts Tuesday night. Let's see how Murphy does with this.

America from 9:00 on: https://youtu.be/GUwLCQU10KQ

I'm hyped for the OJ story. I think they are going to do a good job of giving us the behind the scenes drama. But I'm lukewarm on the Hurricane Katrina idea. In any event, I hope they're nothing like American Horror Story which had potential, but turned into some mess.

Last 3 things I watched:

The Changeling Season 1 (Apple+): C
OMITB Season 3 (Hulu): B-
Ahsoka Season 1 (Disney

Two guys pitched People vs. OJ Simpson and FX then decided to bring Murphy in and make it a part of the "American" series. Those two have the writing credits on all but one of the episodes, I believe.

Murphy directed the pilot; not sure how much he guided the show though.

The Katrina idea is actually great IMO. Following people in the Superdome; that's really a moment in history that shouldn't be forgotten. Not sure Ryan Murphy's the guy to tell it but the premise is very interesting. Would probably rather see John Ridley tackle it than Murphy if I had to choose between the two crime anthologies on air right now but we shall see.

i was wondering if they were gonna get off the freeway to drop the dime on homie b/c i remembered most of us didn't have mobile phones in 1994 - let alone car phones. but then i saw the call box and remembered when LA had those things lining the freeways. i LOL'd.

fuck you.

actually the music choices were pretty great (shapiro listening to "we're in this love together")
and the old school pizza hut boxes!!!

fuck you.

no longer expecting this show to live up to the hype

Yet I can't stop watching

i thought that her yelling at kourtney and khloe was the one time they'd reference the kids. now i'll be shocked if they don't pop up every episode.

but also i can't stop watching.

and i love it for that reason

Must be dumbfounded by the fact that he wasnt shot 58 times right then.

http://i.imgur.com/vPqCzVU.jpg

fuck you.

Second episode less so, but that's because the intrigue from the legal perspective was the best part of the pilot. The chase is simply more one-note-- OJ sobs, Robert panics, Garcetti and Clark stew and wait. Not a lot of plot there, really. The best bit was the NBA Finals stuff, lol. Forgot about that.

Still, now that OJ is caught, I'm excited for the rest of the series.

i thought i heard one in Nicole's 9/11 call, then Marcia's 'motherfucker' in the end.

First time I remember hearing it on any of their shows.

i remember when "Bitch" was first said on 90210 (or what is Melrose Place) and everybody went nuts but this kinda just slipped by me.

But didn't Breaking Bad or maybe Mad Men also have a "Fuck"? I know that's AMC but still

shit's hilarious to me.

I wonder if they'll address the rumor that OJ was blowing Kris' back out?

I was in HS when it happened and I remember all the players, even the DNA expert, everybody involved except Rob Kardashian.

Ross is constant comedy relief on this. Was Rob Kardashian really that much of a lame?

Ep. 1- calling out their names for no reason

Ep. 2- they're literally chanting kardashian.

Ep. 3- "fame isn't everything, kids." followed by kim pondering that for a moment


i'm dying every time.

http://i.imgur.com/vPqCzVU.jpg

fuck you.

By portraying Robert the way they are (as something resembling a saint), they're really portraying the rest of the family as a group who ignored literally everything he asked them to do.

I sort of felt the series was going this way with the depiction in the first two episodes, making them seem annoying and fame-obsessed (the chanting at the TV, ignoring the gravity of the situation entirely), but the third episode opening scene really hammered it home. They're showing Robert as someone displeased by fame, intent on doing the right thing, attempting to make the Kardashian name stand for something good, and by cutting to the kids immediately afterward, we in the audience can't help but think about how they've gone in the exact opposite direction.

Anyone else feel this way? I've heard complaints that the show is "painting them in a positive light," but I've felt the opposite. I've also heard complaints that they're "obsessed with the Kardashians when they weren't part of the story," and while that's true, since you can easily trace the beginnings of the Kardashian family fame to the OJ trial, and the Kardashians are easily one of the biggest celebrity brands in the world today, I think it's a compelling addition to the show. It's like the origin story of a comic book villain.

yup. i thought the same thing.

i dunno about that.

i think the family's fame is still rooted in Paris Hilton's fame (Kim was introduced to the world as one of Paris's besties), the reality show and Kim's sex tape. i don't think the trial had much to do w/their fame except as a footnote (as in - BTW, the deceased patriarch was one of OJ's lawyers).

, and the

that's how Murphy is treating it. LOL

They didn't really achieve fame the way they have it now until then, you're right-- it was more like they got a taste of what fame was like with the OJ trial, so you can potentially trace their interest in the relentless pursuit of fame back to that. Or at least, again, that's how Murphy seems to be telling it. Hence my origin story analogy.

But yeah, the fame of the family didn't really start hitting mainstream until all of that other stuff, you're right.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

I'm not sure how anyone could watch and complain they're being portrayed as too positive

I really have no idea what kind of person Robert was or if he really did try to advise against this fame-obsessed mindset. I could actually picture one of them saying something like "My father always told me fame is fleeting, and hollow and means nothing at all without a virtuous heart" without a hint of self-awareness lol.

Kris and the kids are portrayed as self-centered and self-interested.

I have no idea if Rob was actually a good dude. I've heard from people that he was. But man he if this all true, he probably be sick to his stomach to see what's become of his family.

Shit I'd be embarrassed and angry if I were them watching the show.

I'm ain't mad at the show's portrayal of these cats. At all.

Ugh at "Kardashian brand"

http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2016/02/kris-jenner-kanye-west-damaging-kardashian-brand

As your recently acquired Tidal subscription can attest, Kanye West's The Life of Pablo marks the provocateur's seventh straight great album in a row. However, alongside the release of that highly anticipated album, West has also been sliding into headlines thanks to some misinterpreted claims of debt and a quickly resolved Twitter feud involving Amber Rose. According to a report from Page Six, Kris Jenner is less-than-thrilled about the attention being paid to those tweets and the ensuing controversy.

In fact, Kris is reportedly concerned that Kanye is "damaging" the Kardashian brand. "His Twitter rants are out of control," this predictably unnamed source tells Page Six. "Kris fears that he’s taking the family down. Kris wants Kanye to hire someone to handle all the noise and drama so he can focus on being an artist." A group of so-called "top publicists" were reportedly called in for a meeting with West's team, but were worried he is simply "too much to handle."

However, Kris's Instagram would appear to tell a slightly different story:

Kris also attended Kanye's The Life of Pablo / Yeezy Season 3 event at Madison Square Garden alongside the rest of the fam, though that was admittedly prior to the leaking of that alleged audio of Kanye West having a brief moment of frustration backstage at Saturday Night Live. Though heavily reported as some sort of a "meltdown" involving SNL staff earlier this month, the audio was later confirmed to have been recorded during what was believed to be a private moment between West and some of his team.

At time of publication, Kris Jenner had still not named her favorite song from The Life of Pablo.

We're finally getting into what they promised with the behind-the-scenes look. I'm almost certain that all of these conversations are made-up or highly exaggerated and I give zero fucks. The acting is still weird and I give zero fucks. I do kinda miss the forced Kardashian moment though.

sidenote: love the Cochran and Clark portrayals.

From the behind-the-scenes scheming by Bailey & Cochran, to the entire jury selection process, to Darden and Clark's convo, to OJ and Robert's coke-fueled partying (though did they even have VIP sections like that in the early '90s?) everything worked this time around. Well, I guess Travolta as Shapiro is still a little too ridiculous to be taken seriously at all, but by now that's kind of the point.

And yeah, I doubt the convos went down like that, but I'm sure the sentiment behind them was 100% real (Shapiro wanted Bailey to work pro-bono, Clark was convinced she'd play well with Black women, Darden knew not to under-estimate Cochran).

And man, they are committed to keep dropping f-bombs.

Shit was too funny.
They're really making Shapiro look horrid

And agreed with everyone that Courtney B Vance is absolutely owning this show

They didn't even ease him into Goldman mode. Soon as he opened his mouth... "MY SON...!!!!"

He's exactly like i remember

as i was/am bothered by the actual Mr. Goldman. LOL

fuck you.

Honest question. I don't recall a ton of the details of the civil trial and his antics in and around that and the murders, so I'm genuinely curious where your disdain comes from. By all accounts, he lost his best friend senselessly, so on its face I can't really blame him if he wants to be loud and mad about it.

There was sympathy for him in the beginning. I mean, everyone understood he lost his son. It was impossible not to because he was on every TV show every day giving that same speech we saw in this episode. After a while he just felt like an opportunist trying to get paid and just an all around attention whore. Just about everyone hated him and his mustache.

I lost/most some of my sympathy for him.

fuck you.

i so thought it would be a slow boil. nigga went from 0 to 100. i was dying. this show is great.
