I feel like I've seen so many OJ documentaries that I wasn't sure this one would bring anything new. Now I'm intrigued. It sounds like it manages to keep things interesting.
I think the first hand accounts from key people there at the time added something for me, and also a key revelation that I'm not sure I had heard before (he practically confessed to someone!).
The Years's play adaptation is soooo good! I was lucky to see it when it was at the Almeida Theatre last summer and I was left speechless. And now you've given me an excuse to binge watch documentaries on conspiracy theories about the death of Kennedy (not complaining)
I've had it for years (no pun intended) in my shelves but I only started reading it after watching the play and I'm even more impressed by how they managed to translate everything Annie Ernaux covers to the stage in such a creative and engaging way. I did a post about it a while back as someone had to be taken out when Romola Garai is in the middle of that scene and it game me a lot of food for thought.

Oh wow seriously I had not heard that either. Crazy to see there is still new content to make around this even if it's been covered so much
I always leave your posts with a long fun-do list. and ignore all of my responsibilities in life.
I always leave your posts with something new to think about. Thank you!
Probably the best comment we could get Jon! Thanks for sticking with us.

I didn’t realise that it had been on before this stint Cristina! What a brave and inventive play. I hadn’t read the book, had you?

It takes a certain kind of creative mind to adapt a memoir into a play like that. Amazing.
Totally, it was one of the best adaptations I've seen for sure.
