You Need To Watch 'The People v. O.J. Simpson' Now That It's On Netflix

Netflix's wave of new additions has recently brought in the award-winning miniseries, "American Crime: The People vs OJ Simpson." Although it's been out for several years and everyone and their mother has probably seen it, if you haven't it's time to get to it. Not only is it incredibly made and absolutely gripping, but it really gives a unique perspective on the case.

The original trial happened before I was born, so all that I've heard about it has been second-hand. This show helps to close that gap and give a more holistic picture than what you may see in other news coverage. It originally caught my attention because I happen to be particularly interested in law, but I really think that it will interest just about anyone.

Don't get me wrong, it is not a documentary and everything in the show should not be taken literally word-for-word, but it does accomplish a telling depiction of the major effect that the case had. It was an incredibly polarizing time, and this show retells the events in a way that really analyzes both sides and how they felt.

Unlike others, this recounting of the events gives equal insight to both sides of the case. Seriously, if we all didn't already know the verdict I would have no idea who would win. I know that it may not seem like it's for everyone, but it's totally worth a shot! Each episode is a total cliffhanger and you will literally finish it in two days while working a full-time job. I know, because I have.

I think that anyone who loves true crime or is even remotely interested in the trial should watch it; you've got to catch up before the next "American Crime" story becomes available!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
