7、O.J. Made In America

　　《O.J.辛普森:美國制造》

　　如果今年的美劇證明了什么的話，那就是辛普森是檢驗美國文化的一枚顯微鏡。(當然，也不能忘了川普……)在《娛樂周刊》的這份名單里，有兩部劇都是關于辛普森殺妻案。O.J.辛普森(Orange Juice Simpson)是著名黑人橄欖球運動員，不過他卻一直為了脫黑而努力。在辛普森娶了白人女服務員妮可·布朗后，妻子懷疑他有外遇，兩人的關系出現裂痕。后來，妮可被發現死于家中，同時她身邊還被發現另一名餐廳服務員的尸體。辛普森成了的嫌疑人……這部10個小時的紀錄片側重在記錄辛普森本人和他成長的城市，探討關于種族、身份、追逐卓越和名利等問題。

　　If TV has proved anything so far this year, it's that O.J. Simpson might be the quintessential lens for examining American culture. (Well, Simpson and Donald Trump, obviously.) Ezra Edelman's relentlessly juicy 10-hour, five-part documentary epic deconstructs the icon and the city that made him. What results is a richly reported and insightful meditation on race, identity, and the chase of transcendence through fame. But the power lies in the shattering, often squirmy spectacle of Simpson's friends and enemies wrestling with their consciences — or trying to avoid it.
