《O.J.辛普森:美国制造》
如果今年的美剧证明了什么的话，那就是辛普森是检验美国文化的一枚显微镜。(当然，也不能忘了川普……)在《娱乐周刊》的这份名单里，有两部剧都是关于辛普森杀妻案。O.J.辛普森(Orange Juice Simpson)是著名黑人橄榄球运动员，不过他却一直为了脱黑而努力。在辛普森娶了白人女服务员妮可·布朗后，妻子怀疑他有外遇，两人的关系出现裂痕。后来，妮可被发现死于家中，同时她身边还被发现另一名餐厅服务员的尸体。辛普森成了的嫌疑人……这部10个小时的纪录片侧重在记录辛普森本人和他成长的城市，探讨关于种族、身份、追逐卓越和名利等问题。
If TV has proved anything so far this year, it's that O.J. Simpson might be the quintessential lens for examining American culture. (Well, Simpson and Donald Trump, obviously.) Ezra Edelman's relentlessly juicy 10-hour, five-part documentary epic deconstructs the icon and the city that made him. What results is a richly reported and insightful meditation on race, identity, and the chase of transcendence through fame. But the power lies in the shattering, often squirmy spectacle of Simpson's friends and enemies wrestling with their consciences — or trying to avoid it.
