O.J.: MADE IN AMERICA
ESPN, 7:00 p.m. ET
With most sports locked down by the pandemic, ESPN has a lot of hours to fill, and has to find other ways to fill it. This week, ESPN is digging into its own archives to repeat one of last year’s best documentaries: a massive five-part re-examination of O.J. Simpson’s rise, celebrity, athletic skills, pro football record, and slow-speed chase, murder trial and national reaction. Each installment is two hours, and ESPN is filling up the week by showing Parts 1 and 2 tonight, with the rest shown the other weekdays this week. If you’re in withdrawal from sports, and even if you don’t think there was anything new to say about the O.J. phenomenon and case, watch O.J.: Made in America. Surprisingly, there was.
