First episode aired last night, best I can tell there will be 5 episodes.
The first episode ended with the beginning of the car chase.
They are 100% telling the story as if he was guilty and got away with it.
Dialog also seems to go out of the way to not make the white people seem racist in anyway... So much so it was unbelievable.
If I was describing who OJ was to someone who claimed she didn't know who he was I would have said "The black guy in The Naked Gun" not "he was in The Naked Gun" that isn't helpful if you don't know who he is.
