i started this on hulu last night assuming i would hate it like i hate most everything i watch, especially shows and movies depicting real professional athletes. i gotta say, it was better than i thought it would be. i didn’t know that only two episodes were out when i started it, but i watched both. i think i’ll be sticking with this show of it keeps going like this.

Only issue is how bad the football scenes are. Shows how much of a pos urbs was

I thought the promos looked awful but the reviews are pretty good.

Is Ryan Murphy involved? 

I work with several hundred people at work. There is a grand total of one person in the lot of them that I stay as far away from as possible. That one person mentioned to another co-worker that he is watching this show. That alone is enough for me to never watch this. I am sure it has some watchable moments in it and might well turn out to be okay, but I’ll skip it. 
 

Hernandez was a dirtbag who murdered another human being. We all know that though. Do not really care to see about any part of his life leading up to that moment or what happened after. He personified FAFO and he is one of the few human beings I feel that got exactly what he deserved for what he did.

It's kind of meh.

75% on the reviews. That actually seems a tad high.

I'm sorry, but your logic is terrible. Some dude i don't like at work is watching it and seems to enjoy it, so I'll never watch it. I'll bet that guy also enjoys getting a blow job. You gonna quit getting those, too?

 

Sorry ahead of time if you're married and that already applies to you.

A low rent/imbecile at work likes it. I have learned in my interactions with this person that things they like have been overwhelmingly things I do not. Yes that’s enough for me not to watch it. Again I also stated I do not want to watch a show about a garbage human being that murdered someone in cold blood. This is something that should never have been made. When that coward died that should’ve been the last time his name was ever mentioned. He was a trash human being that got what he deserved.

Your taste is your taste so I get it. But lol, you just described humanity/world’s fascination with the true crime genre.

Yes that fascination is something I will never get. I get to read books for class about the Holocaust. They are not fun to read, but at least serve a necessary purpose.

if you read up on his story it truly seems that he was a monster that was created largely by forces out of his control. his drug usage and choice of friends are both on him, but those two things aren’t u common among young football stars, and do not come close to making you the type of monster that he became.

by all accounts he was a good kid who was friends with everyone and bullied nobody. was a star in HS but was friendly and self deprecating. he was a hard worker and a kid you’d be proud of. but a combination of having terrible parents and enduring unbelievable levels of repeated brain seems to be mostly to blame for he became such an extreme case. it’s really sad from every angle.

what’s not to get about people really liking true crime shows and docs? if you can wrap your head around people liking the wire then surely you can wrap your head around people liking the true crime genre.

Thus far it's shredding Urban Fuckface, Scam Newton and UF "culture" during that time with impunity. Hopefully they get around to Tebow. If loving this show is wrong I don't want to be right

All that and being an incredibly self-hating bisexual man.

that’s true, and i had forgotten about that early on in episode one when he’s in his truck with his teammate and it goes from 0 - handjob very very fast. having a dad like his, and being a top flight football star who liked sex with men definitely made his life a lot harder, er, more difficult.

I dint care what your upbringing or shit you've had to deal with, it's takes a special piece of shit to kill people.

It comes across as a total hit piece.  But these guys are (were) soulless aholes irl, so it is probably 100% accurate.

We need an Urby spinoff.

I'm up to ep 4.  They're doing a good job of making him both a sympathetic and despicable character.

The guy playing Aaron Hernandez reminds me of Ronnie from Jersey Shore. The show reminds me of Showgirls with all of the dramatics and bad acting. 

The Gronk actor plays him as a caricature of a dumb gym bro.  What I'm saying is he nailed it.  Belichick I don't know if he's accurate, but I like him regardless.

Based on the clips I’ve seen i might have to watch for the pure unintended humor of the fball scenes

It bothers me this content is made and I don’t understand why anyone would wanna watch and give the guy any attention whatsoever. 

He's dead, Jim.

The guy playing Belichick is nailing it.

What would you do if he’s a Longhorn fan?

I think at this point this show should be considered “based on true events.”

But wow what a compelling story.  And the guy playing Hernandez is a great actor.  Plays the psycho unstable guy perfectly.

Anywhere online to catch the last episode?  I missed it and can't find a replay of it anywhere.

Will probably be rerun before the next ep.  Set your vcr.

On episode 4, how did Tebow, Meyer and Bill skate on this shit? 

The ending was pretty good.  They do a good job of making you feel just a little bad for him.
