Netflix documentary on oj Simpson looks at one of the most famous trials ever.
Absolutely incredible.
However, where Netflix failed is stretching, stretching the development of the story.
It is incredibly slow.
I found it very difficult to stay interested due to painful super slow development.
Netflix focused on every single detail, many of them not relevant at all to the Case.
It goes in and on and on.
It could have been such a fantastic series given how this trial captured the US ....and also to an extent the rest of the world.
It made history in being one of the first tele reality.
Unfortunately, Netflix killed it by making far too long.

Many reviews here expressed this movie is not good.
I started to watch it and to my surprise, I found it very good !
The mother in law jealousy has no bounds. I was curious to see how far she'll go to use her new daughter in law.
Jessica Lange is very convincing in the role of the evil mother in law.
I'm not a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow, but in this movie and that role, she's excellent.
Filming locations excellent
A critical part of the storyline is simply not realistic one has to go along with it. If you do, then you will be engaging in the story .
I hadn't realised that Gwyneth Paltrow is only 25 years old in that movie, she looked quite different then.

This Aussie movie has a very good storyline.
What kept me really interested, though, is not exactly the storyline, it's the filming locations !
Australian bush, amazing ocean beaches, great horses, cute country towns and countryside !
Some of the shots taken from drones are spectacular !
The storyline is a an Aussie girl can't wait to get out of her life in Australia and leaves as Soon as graduated.
Casting is good for the male actors.
However, I found the actress playing the role of the woman was not good. Hard to point something specific, however I just felt she was not playing the role very well. Overacting perhaps ?
