Nine Emmy wins including Outstanding Limited Series (2016). The first season of American Crime Story.

Exceptional educational value from the meticulous recreation of the trial and its racial, media, and legal dimensions. High cognitive demands from tracking the legal strategy and cultural context. The ensemble cast, Sterling K. Brown, Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance, is flawless.
