The documentary also features firsthand accounts from “Juiced” creators, producers, actors, and others who worked on the show. Cultural experts contribute additional perspective on the reality television landscape that allowed increasingly provocative concepts to become entertainment.
According to ID, the series examines the ethical questions surrounding “Juiced” and the culture of shock television that surrounded its production. The project attempted to combine Simpson’s celebrity with hidden-camera comedy at a time when reality programming was increasingly pushing boundaries. But the production never reached viewers. A mystery saboteur helped send the project into turmoil as producers confronted problems both behind and in front of the cameras.
Across four episodes, “O.J. Unseen: Exploitation Of Evil” explores how “Juiced” became an example of television’s willingness to turn controversy into spectacle—and what happened when that experiment collapsed.
“O.J. Unseen: Exploitation Of Evil” premieres Monday, September 7, and Tuesday, September 8, at 9/8c on ID. The episodes will also be available to stream on HBO Max. Watch the trailer below.
