FX have HBO levels of "can't do any wrong"-ness at the moment so this could be interesting!
Wow, interesting choice! Wonder what angle they'll be taking on it. :)

The first episode is excellent!
BBC2 have picked it up in the UK. No air date yet,, but it is expected to start at some point in February.

Yeah really good first start! In style and pace nothing like American Horror Story at all if anybody (like me) was worried about that. Amazing cast they've got for this season, and quite proud of myself for recognising one of the Huxtables from The Cosby Show all grown up!
Though Cochran is going to be hard to take seriously after Sienfeld parodied him so well.
I guess the closest other show this feels like is in tone is Prime Suspect (Helen Mirren). This might just keep me going till Game of Thrones.

For people enjoying this, if you for some reason don't know how it ends and want to keep that a mystery (what were you living under a rock back when it all happened???)...
SPOILER:
They've just found the possible murder weapon after all these years:

An interview with Marcia Clark, the chief prosecutor, worth a read:
