Chapter 2 - "The Run of His Life" - With O.J.

Written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski; directed by Ryan Murphy.

Chapter 3 - "The Dream Team" - Marcia Clark (Sarah Paulson) announces that O.J. Simpson (Cuba Gooding Jr.) has been charged. Robert Shapiro (John Travolta) seeks advice from F.

Written by D.V. DeVincentis; directed by Anthony Hemingway.

Chapter 4 - "100% Not Guilty" - Johnnie Cochran (Courtney B. Vance) brings an energy that transforms the case. As jury selection gets underway, the prosecution and defense seek out the assistance of jury research experts, who come back with some surprising results. Meanwhile, Faye Resnick (Connie Britton) publishes a tell-all book, complicating the court proceedings. Written by Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky and Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski; directed by Anthony Hemingway.

Chapter 8 - "A Jury In Jail" - Months into the trial, cut off from their families, society and the media, the jurors grow stir crazy and start becoming unlikely targets for the prosecution and the defense. Meanwhile, the country gets an introduction to the science of DNA evidence. Written by Joe Robert Cole; directed by Anthony Hemingway.

Chapter 9 - "Manna From Heaven" - Johnnie Cochran (Courtney B. Vance) and F. Lee Bailey (Nathan Lane) head across the country to get their hands on the Mark Fuhrman tapes. Judge Ito (Kenneth Choi) must decide whether the tapes, and the racial epithets they contain, are admissible. Written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski; directed by Anthony Hemingway.

Chapter 10 - "The Verdict" - The prosecution and defense make their closing statements, the jurors deliberate, and the verdict comes down. Written by Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski; directed by Ryan Murphy.

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story is the most critically acclaimed new program of the year with a current Metacritic score of 90 (behind only FX's acclaimed drama series The Americans which currently has the top score of 95). Among the reviews:
