The first episode of American Crime Story: The People v OJ Simpson aired last night to critical acclaim, including 95% and 90% approval ratings from Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic respectively. These numbers mark a particular contrast with spiritual sibling series American Horror Story, which took something of a drubbing from critics this past season, itself rating at just 58% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The series is the first for creators Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who are best known as the screenwriting team that collaborated with Tim Burton on Ed Wood and Big Eyes and Milos Forman on The People vs Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon. More recently, they were credited with writing the screenplay for the 2015 adaptation of Goosebumps.
American Crime Story airs Tuesdays on FX, and its cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr, Nathan Lane, Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, John Travolta, Courtney B Vance, and Selma Blair.
