Remake is worse than OJ's cameo in original


This remake aims to be gritty and realistic, but the only changes are cosmetic. The dialogue and scenes are even more stagey and heavy handed than the original version over 30 years ago. Nothing feels real - you can sense the planning in the production and the index cards in the writing. What a forgettable piece of product. OJ's wooden commercial acting back in 1977 was better than these entire four episodes.
