Ezra Edelman: O.J.: Made in America

Kollega Tue Steen Müller spørger mig, hvorfor jeg bliver ved med at se serien om O. J. Simpson, selvom jeg var skeptisk efter første afsnit, som vi så sammen… Jamen, netop det spørgsmål har jeg stillet mig selv efter DR2 visningen i aftes (jeg så dog kun sidste 2/3 og har ikke set de mellemliggende, men vil prøve at gøre det) og siden er jeg begyndt forsøgsvis at læse de begejstrede anmeldelser. Kan jeg finde en forklaring der? Eller er det klipningen? Biljagten i afsnittet i aftes for eksempel? Jeg har ikke været så optaget af en amerikansk arkivfilm siden måske Barak Goodmans serie “Clinton” eller endnu mere præcist siden Emile de Antonios “Millhouse” som end ikke er sentimental hvad Clintonbiografien er. Må prøve at finde kræfter til at se og finde en forklaring…

Seriens længde er således en udfordring. “… Its length may seem daunting, but I would have watched it for another eight hours and will almost certainly watch it again before the summer is over. It’s that good”, skriver imidlertid Brian Tallerico i sin grundige og kloge anmeldelse på rogerebert.com:
