Hearing that ESPN has produced a five-night documentary about O.J. Simpson, with a running time of nearly eight hours minus commercials, an understandable response would be, "Too much!"
Especially just months after the conclusion of FX's riveting, 10-part "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson," this exhaustive look at the rise and fall of the football star and accused murderer can seem excessive. How much more, you may wonder, is there to know on the subject of Simpson?
Plenty, it turns out.
"O.J.: Made in America," an entry in ESPN's acclaimed "30 for 30" documentary series, is far more than either a biography or a true-crime thriller.
