In a sense, he's like a curse': what can a new OJ Simpson docuseries teach us?
Briefly

OJ Simpson's death from prostate cancer at age 76 has reignited discussions about his infamous trial and legacy. Director Floyd Russ's Netflix docuseries, "American Manhunt: OJ Simpson," revisits the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, aiming to present the case to a new generation. Despite his terminal illness, Simpson remained defiant, even suggesting he was 'fine' until the end, indicating a lack of remorse or reflection on his past. The docuseries seeks to unpack the societal impact of the trial that captivated a nation and forever changed public perception of celebrity and justice.
If you remember he said he was fine, recalls director Floyd Russ. So I always joke that he lied to us until the day he died, basically.
Russ is resubmitting the case, a national obsession that mushroomed into a worldwide phenomenon because of Simpson's sports and Hollywood celebrity, for Gen Z's consideration.
I didn't understand what was happening initially but then my parents divorced, and I wound up moving with my mom to an apartment complex in Brentwood.
