Great episode up there with "race card" and "dream team" as the best of the series, really made a dude feel bad for Marcia looking at the 2 teams it was a lot like David vs goliath.

I don't think Cuba is that bad. He just isn't OJ in the way he looks or his mannerisms. He was set up for failure from the start being cast as Juice. But obviously it was a role (not like he turns down many) that he felt compelled to take.
Like I have been saying once you let go of the fact he's not oj simpson you can just accept his performance for what it is. Now that the focus is off him I just find his input almost like comedy. Like the scene where they selected the jury and he whispers to Johnny "shyt if these ppl convict me maybe I did do it" his delivery was just hilarious. The sly grin he had in this episode when the first cop on stand put doubt in the jury's mind was another gem. Or when he chewed out his whole team using football analogies he's just instant comedy

this show is horrible

the first episode was AMAZING and everything since has been brutal and cringe worthy
:russ: thought the first 2 episodes were actually the worse, show has only had 1 ok at worse episode since the shift focused to the courtroom

Did Cuba even study the guy he's playing
as there isn't a vid of a performance I will just focus on what I see, Cuba can't exactly alter his face or grow taller he's not the one to blame

If he can't do different facial expressions (here smugness would be required) he probably shouldn't be acting. I did not mention his height.
Why would they ask Cuba to take a photo looking smug when the whole purpose of the show is to see the trial from all angles? By having him pose with a shyt eating grin Ryan Murphy and co would be actively and blatantly be choosing a side
