Since the reveal of the cast for Ryan Murphy's first season of American Crime Story - subtitled The People v OJ Simpson - the scrutiny of the cast has been almost as great as it was for the infamous 1995 murder trial itself.
...OK, maybe not quite, but comparisons between the actors and their real-life counterparts (including a then little-known family called the Kardashians) has been rife.
Did the showrunners choose well? Only you can decide.
Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson
The Jerry Maguire and Boyz n the Hood Hollywood vet is taking the central role of the American football star accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark
Murphy's American Horror Story regular Sarah Paulson is stepping into the shoes of Marcia Clark, the head prosecutor in the trial.
