How to watch, stream FX’s 'The People v. O.J. Simpson' and ESPN’s 'O.J. Made in America'

O.J. Simpson, perhaps sports' most polarizing figure, passed away at the age of 76. The former NFL star was also an actor and most famously the subject of a globally recognized murder trial.

For those unaware of the wide-encompassing impact he had, there are some options to view the life and times of Simpson through the lens of a dramatic series and a documentary.

Both take a vivid look at someone who enjoyed the apex of sports accomplishments and the height of celebrity stardom, only to later in life become the center of a murder trial that led the zeitgeist in the mid-to-late 90s.

Simpson was accused and later acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, but was later found liable in a civil trial. He would then serve nine years in prison in an armed robbery conviction. He was released on parole in 2017.
