1"From the Ashes of Tragedy"Ryan MurphyScott Alexander & Larry KaraszewskiFebruary 2, 2016 (2016-02-02)1WAX015.12[3]
In the early morning of June 13, 1994, the slaughtered bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman are found at the entrance of Brown's Brentwood condo. Suspicion falls on Brown's ex-husband, NFL superstar and actor O. J. Simpson. District attorney Marcia Clark immediately takes the case and discovers that Simpson had beaten his ex-wife several times in the past. Meanwhile, high-powered black attorney Johnnie Cochran challenges a fellow black attorney, Christopher Darden, for not standing up for his race in his work as a prosecutor. Simpson is questioned by police detectives and his responses are vague, unreliable and do not establish a timeline for June 12, angering Clark who suspects that Simpson is guilty. Robert Kardashian talks Simpson into hiring celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro as his new attorney. Simpson is found to be suicidal and has a gun and Kardashian attempts to calm him down. Police officers then arrive to arrest Simpson for the double murder; however, he has disappeared. Kardashian, Shapiro and the police search the house before Kardashian realizes that Simpson had disappeared with Al Cowlings in the white Bronco.
2"The Run of His Life"Ryan MurphyScott Alexander & Larry KaraszewskiFebruary 9, 2016 (2016-02-09)1WAX023.90[4]
DA Gil Garcetti issues a statewide manhunt over the missing Simpson in a press conference. Shapiro and Kardashian fear the worst when they discover Simpson's suicide letter. Shapiro holds a press conference of his own to save face and Kardashian reads the suicide letter to the media. A driver on the LA freeway I-405 sees Simpson in the white Bronco and calls the police which leads in to the infamous, media headlining, low speed chase to Brentwood. A suicidal Simpson has Cowlings drive him to Brentwood and at first refuses to get out the car, almost killing himself then and there. Kardashian pleads with Simpson over the phone to peacefully surrender and he complies. Simpson is then charged with the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and is taken into custody.
3"The Dream Team"Anthony HemingwayD. V. DeVincentisFebruary 16, 2016 (2016-02-16)1WAX033.34[5]
With Simpson now in custody, Shapiro begins assembling his defense team, while Clark confirms to the media that he is to be prosecuted for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and that this means he is eligible for the death penalty. Clark also reveals the evidence, the glove, and the blood trail to the media, leading to most of the media (and Clark herself) to believe that the case will be an easy win. Following a controversial issue of Time magazine featuring a darkened image of Simpson on the cover, issues of racism arise within the media. Shapiro signs F. Lee Bailey first onto the team, who recommends bringing aboard Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz mentions that they could argue that the DNA found at the crime scene could have been tampered with, and this is later made the main defense after it is revealed that the LAPD detective who found the glove that is key to the prosecution's case, Mark Fuhrman, has made racist comments frequently during his career. Deciding to go with the argument that the LAPD is systemically racist and has framed Simpson for racist reasons, Shapiro talks to a reporter from The New Yorker who publishes it as a front-page story. Simpson, after meeting with Shapiro, Bailey, and Kardashian, reluctantly agrees to bring aboard Cochran as the final member of his defense team. Meanwhile, the prosecution is forced to move onto the attack for the trial after most of key evidence is leaked to the media and they panic over Shapiro's plan for the defense.
4"100% Not Guilty"Anthony HemingwayMaya Forbes & Wallace Wolodarsky and
Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski		February 23, 2016 (2016-02-23)1WAX043.00[6]
Simpson's "dream team" bears down on the trial, with Shapiro adopting a strategy of barricading and objecting to every motion the prosecution attempts. However, the defense suffers from dissent in the ranks, as Shapiro begins making desperate efforts to remain the lead defense attorney, despite Cochran being clearly more qualified for the position as the defense increasingly begins to lean more on racial tension. Eventually Bailey, Cochran and Kardashian stage a minor coup while Shapiro is on vacation, and convince Simpson to endorse Cochran as the lead attorney. Lance Ito is called to preside over the trial, and the process of jury selection begins, with both sides seeking a racial composition favorable to their own agenda. While both Clark and Cochran are correct that whites are biased against Simpson and black men are biased in his favor, they each have their own respective theories about why black women would be unsympathetic to him: Cochran believes they would resent Simpson for marrying a white woman, while Clark believes they would be sympathetic to Nicole as a battered woman. However, this theorizing proves inaccurate when all potential black female jurors align with Simpson as much as their male counterparts. Clark is also forced to confront the fact that she herself is singularly uncharismatic to jurors of all demographics. Adding to the media circus surrounding the case is a book published by Faye Resnick, detailing Brown Simpson's lifestyle and relationship to Simpson and detracting more potential evidence from the trial itself. With Clark and her team realizing the case is not the easy win they thought at first, she and Garcetti decide that the only possible buffer against the charismatic and beloved Cochran is to add a black lawyer to the prosecution. She calls on Christopher Darden and he joins the team, surprising the defense team.
5"The Race Card"John SingletonJoe Robert ColeMarch 1, 2016 (2016-03-01)1WAX052.73[7]
The Simpson murder trial begins when in his first contribution to the prosecution, Darden attempts to sway the jury from any racist implications of the Simpson case. His wording backfires severely when Cochran delivers a fiery and moving rebuttal, humiliating all of the prosecutors. Clark also assigns Darden to interview Mark Fuhrman and coach him on how to speak during the trial as a credible witness. Darden gets a bad feeling about Fuhrman, strongly suspecting him to be the latent racist suggested by his murky history, but Clark disregards his suspicions, leaving him increasingly conflicted about his role in the case. Meanwhile, Cochran redecorates Simpson's home, re-imagining him as being more proud and in touch with his African American identity, for a public tour. After the defense springs a surprise and illegal move by introducing new witnesses, William Hodgman suffers a panic attack and faints in court. Clark nominates Darden to replace him as co-leading prosecutor. A new obstacle emerges to the prosecution, unbeknownst to Clark, when Darden's suspicions are confirmed and Fuhrman is shown to have a collection of Nazi memorabilia.
6"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"Ryan MurphyD. V. DeVincentisMarch 8, 2016 (2016-03-08)1WAX063.00[8]
Clark is going through a bitter divorce. The media criticizes her attitude and appearance and she becomes overwhelmed with her sudden celebrity status. Television networks preempt their daytime programming for coverage of the trial. Darden and Clark bond at the office after-hours with drinks and dancing. A reporter from Los Angeles Times confronts Cochran about the alleged past domestic violence against his first wife. Clark decides to get a haircuit in response to the media's criticisms of her, but it only increases the amount of negative attention in the media. Bailey gives his cross examination of Fuhrman, asking him if he has ever used the 'N' word in the last ten years, which Fuhrman strongly denies. Darden consoles Clark, who bemoans finding herself being turned into a public personality like the defense lawyers.
7"Conspiracy Theories"Anthony HemingwayD. V. DeVincentisMarch 15, 2016 (2016-03-15)1WAX072.89[9]
Shapiro tries to convince others to agree to a plea deal. Kardashian finds himself unable to believe Simpson's story because of the lack of any other suspects. Clark travels to Oakland with Darden for a friend's birthday showing the increasing closeness between them both. Simpson tries on the gloves (found at the scene of the crime). After he seemingly struggles to put on the gloves, it appears that they are too small.
8"A Jury in Jail"Anthony HemingwayJoe Robert ColeMarch 22, 2016 (2016-03-22)1WAX082.92[10]
The members on the jury start to go stir-crazy and deal with cabin fever during sequestration. A few of them are excused for lying on the questionnaire or having connections with Simpson in strange ways. The defense and counsel begin to focus on getting alternates who they are sure would vote favorably at the end of the trial. After the glove debacle, everyone assumes that Simpson is not guilty but when Clark fiercely presents the DNA evidence in court, doubts start again. Even the ever-faithful Kardashian begins to doubt Simpson's story while Cochran and Shapiro seem unconcerned with this.
9"Manna from Heaven"Anthony HemingwayScott Alexander & Larry KaraszewskiMarch 29, 2016 (2016-03-29)1WAX092.77[11]
Simpson's attorneys uncover tapes of Fuhrman recounting horrifying stories of torturing, murdering and framing black suspects for fun. Judge Ito discovers a twist, and a mistrial looks imminent. The tapes are released, Fuhrman takes the stand and further incriminates himself by refusing to answer any more questions, much to the dismay of Clark.
10"The Verdict"Ryan MurphyScott Alexander & Larry KaraszewskiApril 5, 2016 (2016-04-05)1WAX103.28[12]
On the last day of proceedings, Simpson declines to take the stand, but makes a brief statement, saying that he maintains his innocence and yearns for the trial be done with and to return to his family. The jury deliberates for only four hours. Following only four hours of deliberation among the jurors, the verdict is finally given: Simpson is found not guilty for the murders of Nicole and Ron, which causes both rejoicing and shock around the country. Simpson finally returns to civilian life though he enters a society where he is perceived as a different person as he was before the trial with some (mainly his family) welcoming him home while others now forever viewing him as the true murderer. At a welcome home party where he announces his intent to find the real killer, he eventually discovers those involved with his life before the crime and trial have all but disappeared. In the final scene, a depressed and lonely Simpson stands in his backyard gazing up at the life-size statue of himself in his prime as a football star with cheering fans heard in the background which slowly fade away as the screen turns dark. The epilogue reveals what happened to the major players and ends with photos and a memorandum of Nicole and Ron.

Reception

Reviews

The first season of American Crime Story has received acclaim from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an approval rating of 97%, based on 64 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story brings top-shelf writing, directing, and acting to bear on a still-topical story while shedding further light on the facts – and provoking passionate responses along the way."[13] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 90 out of 100, based on 43 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[14]

Many critics have singled out many cast members for the performances, particularly Paulson and Vance.[15][16][17] Dan Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of Paulson and Vance, writing: "As Clark's discomfort grows, Paulson's collection of tics seem more and more human[...] Vance's Cochran is sometimes hilarious, but he has a dynamic range such that he's occasionally introspective and always intelligent as well."[16] Brian Lowry of Variety praised the casting of the smaller roles, particularly Connie Britton as Faye Resnick and Nathan Lane as F. Lee Bailey.[18]

Despite the praise for the rest of the cast, Travolta and Gooding's respective portrayals of Shapiro and Simpson have been met with mixed reviews by critics. Brian Lowry of Variety called Travolta "awful" in the role, adding: "Yes, Shapiro spoke in stiff, measured tones, but the actor's overly mannered line readings turn the attorney into a buffoon, in sharp contrast to the more nuanced portrayals around him."[18] Nicole Jones of Vanity Fair called his performance "campy and calculated."[19] Dan Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter also criticized his performance, calling it "a mesmerizingly bad performance from the eyebrows down." He also wrote that "His unnecessary accent varies by episode, and Travolta's laser intensity feels arch and almost kabuki at times, turning Shapiro into a terrifying character from the next American Horror Story installment, rather than a part of this ensemble."[16] Maureen Ryan of Vanity Fair, conversely, became more impressed with Travolta as the season progressed: "I started in the realm of puzzled disbelief, arrived at amusement, and ultimately traveled to a place of sincere appreciation. You simply can't take your eyes off Travolta, and that is a form of enchantment."[20] Dave Schilling of The Guardian panned Gooding's performance, writing: "his whiny, gravely voice sounds absolutely nothing like the real O.J. Simpson's deep, commanding tones."[21] Michael Starr of New York Post also was highly critical of Gooding's performance, saying that he "portrays Simpson as a hollow, sad-sack cipher who speaks in a high-pitched whine and sleepwalks in a fog he never shakes after being arrested for the brutal double murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. He's a forgettable, annoying presence in what should be a showcase role for Gooding — who, to be fair, is reciting lines written for him, so he can only do so much with the material."[22] On the other hand, Joe McGovern was more positive on Gooding's performance, writing that his casting "takes a risk and pulls it off."[23] In spite of the mixed reviews on their performances, Gooding and Travolta received Emmy nominations. Additionaly, Travolta was among the recipients for Outstanding Limited Series, being one of the show's producers.

Reception from individuals involved

Mark Fuhrman, who is portrayed by Steven Pasquale, refused to watch the series and called his portrayal untruthful. In an interview with New York Post, he said "The last 20 years, I have watched the facts dismissed by the media, journalists and the public simply because it does not fit within the politically correct narrative. At this late date, FX is attempting to establish a historical artifact with this series without reaching out to any prosecution sources. In a time when Americans read less and less and investigative journalism is on vacation, it is sad that this movie will be the historical word on this infamous trial. After all, it was 'based on a true story.'"[24]

Marcia Clark praised the series and called Sarah Paulson's portrayal of her "phenomenal."[25] Clark went to the Emmys with Sarah Paulson, who won that night for her performance.[26]

Ron Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, had numerous criticisms of the series. He felt that there was not enough material about Ron, who is only depicted on the show as a corpse. He expressed concern that the generations of people who were too young to understand the events at the time would consider everything to be accurate. Nicole Brown's sister, Tanya Brown, lashed out at the cast members for what she saw as a lack of consultation with the families.[27]
