The Fix is "odious" for trying to rewrite the O.J. Simpson case

"If ABC's vacuous legal drama The Fix sounds like ripped-from-the headlines déjà vu, please note that it is, in fact, worse," says Robyn Bahr. "In 2007, O.J. Simpson wrote and nearly published a "hypothetical" account of his ex-wife's murder called If I Did It. This show is Marcia Clark's 'If I Convicted It.' Clark, the prosecutor who botched the Simpson trial and, preposterously, now produces this series, has crafted a campy procedural simultaneously so fatuous and bold-faced that it's basically dystopian in the levels of self-awareness it lacks. This odious vanity project, which hoists a young white attorney into the air to anoint her the hero that will finally bring down the black man she neglected to convict the first time, falls somewhere on the nauseating spectrum between 'author's universe' fan fiction and revenge porn."

ALSO:

• The Fix should be called "Marcia Revenge": It's better to rewatch American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson
  The Fix is powered solely by Marcia Clark’s resentment: The show suffers from Clark lacking perspective by being too close to the case
