The Dream Team
The People vs. O.J. Simpson: The Dream Team (2016)
With O.J. now behind bars, Robert Shapiro (John Travolta) must try and come up with a stronger defense team so he reaches out to F. Lee Bailey (Nathan Lane) and soon the idea of a racial trial comes up, which leads to Johnny Cochran (Courtney B. Vance) being called.
This third episode once again brings in a very high entertainment factor as the drama certainly starts to mount. This episode does a very good job at showing the behind-the-scenes details as the "Dream Team" must come up with a way to get O.J. out of jail. These scenes contain some nice drama and as I said there's a great entertainment value. The episode also benefits from getting to see O.J. and his lawyers trying to work up a defense and some of Simpson's objections.
With that said, it's been happening throughout the first three episodes but the needless Kardashian children being used here to make the series "current" is rather pathetic as was a joke aimed at Bruce Jenner. Still, these are small issues that I had with the episode, which certainly pushed the limits of what profanity can be said on such a show.
