It's telling that the opening scene of The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first season of FX's new American Crime Story anthology series, doesn't directly relate to the O.J. Simpson trial. Instead, it's news footage of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, the six-day fallout of the acquittal of the police officers who beat Rodney King, that sets the tone for the story being told.
In that way, it's especially fitting that The People v. O.J. Simpson debut in 2016, a time when racial tensions are again especially high in the United States. As the creators of the series explained recently, their intent with this reexamination of O.J. Simpson's trial wasn't to determine whether he was guilty or innocent, but to strive to explain why the case wasn't an easy win for the prosecution.
