Creator Ryan Murphy's latest project, The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, premiered Tuesday evening to rave reviews across the board. The new FX series dramatizes the infamous O.J. Simpson case, which some have heralded as "the case of the century." It features an all-star cast that includes Cuba Gooding Jr. (as Simpson), John Travolta, David Schwimmer, Selma Blair, Sarah Paulson and more. See what all Twitter had to say, below!
Right off the bat, comedian Damon Wayans Jr. tweeted:
"That's not even how I did it." - O.J. while watching #PeoplevsOJSimpson

TV expert for E!, Kristin Dos Santos, teased fans about next week's episode:
It was amazing, right? The next episodes are even better. Buckle up. Especially for next week's Bronco chase which is (shocked emoji). #PeoplevsOJSimpson — Kristin Dos Santos (@KristinDSantos) February 3, 2016
Some people had issue with the addition of the Kardashian children, which has been talked about a lot in recent weeks:
I like this series but it's annoying that they've probably mentioned the Kardashian children more times than OJ's actual kids. #PeoplevsOJ — Andrea Masenda (@andreamas05) February 3, 2016
Mostly, fans were captivated by the show and have vowed to continue watching:
im like 15 minutes into #PeoplevOJSimpson and it's already better than the last three seasons of AHS im #snatched — oscar (@osc__ar) February 3, 2016

Reason script of #PeopleVOJSimpson is so crazy good: Scott Alexander + Larry Karaszewsk, who also wrote Ed Wood and People Vs. Larry Flynt.

Fans weren't the only ones commenting on the show. Marcia Clark, the prosecutor for the case (played by Sarah Paulson on the show), spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the series, calling it "painful" because "the whole experience of that trial was a nightmare."
"The series is a quality effort. I think Ryan Murphy did a beautiful job, just from what I've seen in the first two, no question. And of course, Sarah, what a wonderful actress! But I don't know if I can make myself [keep watching]. I don't know if I'll survive it. It's just so awful," she says.
The cast is also speaking out about the show, specifically about the infamous Bronco chase that is going to be featured next week on the show. Cuba Gooding Jr. recently said, "In the back of that f---ing Bronco was just an emotional roller coaster. Getting in the mindset of a man on the verge of committing suicide, that was something that I will take with me for the rest of my life."
The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story airs on FX Tuesday nights at 10 p.m.
