    Ride like the wind
    For the most part, a very entertaining episode. For centering on the world's worst car chase, it does highlight how the Earth stopped turning to watch the coverage (not to mention really playing up the iconic white Bronco), even while the direction is strictly full-tilt; complete with restless camera-work and overacting. Despite Cuba Gooding Jr.'s ample screen time and material, Sarah Paulson's Marcia Clark is the MVP.

    If there's one criticism (and it's plenty founded), stop featuring the Kardashian brood as characters. Robert, yes. The rest of the clan is awkwardly shoehorned in. Really hope they're not recurring. This isn't their story.

    8/10
