8、The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
《美国犯罪故事:民诉辛普森》
这部超高分剧也是围绕美国历史上具轰动性的丑闻之一：辛普森杀妻案审判案展开。该剧跟现实庭审一样扣人心弦，也引发了美国观众关于犯罪和种族主义的思考和辩论。
It's hard to imagine that a miniseries could be as gripping as the real-life trial of the century. But American Crime Story felt like a national news event in itself. From the moment it opened with the beating of Rodney King, a scene that hit hard in the age of Black Lives Matter, it was chillingly relevant, and the smallest details about the lawyers' decisions revealed so much about the legal system. Sarah Paulson and Courtney B. Vance rescued their characters from caricature, showing how conflicted Marcia Clark and Johnnie Cochran were as they argued about what justice really means. Is it about honoring victims, or taking a stand against institutional racism? The finale was a haunting reminder that Americans are still divided.
