The showrunner of this series, in crafting the lead character Aaron Hernandez, has truly gone to great lengths. Not only did he have to make the character ‘relatable, watchable, empathetic’, but also weave this through the entire season. It seems he has succeeded in this ‘challenge’. After all, the audience followed the plot from beginning to end, as if they were ‘knowing the mountain is full of tigers, still dare to go towards the tiger mountain’, looking forward to that feeling of ‘knowing the outcome, but hoping it wouldn’t happen’. As for the story of Aaron Hernandez, it seems that interest in it has been building for a long time. From The Boston Globe and Wondery’s 2018 podcast ‘Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc.’, to Oxygen’s ‘Aaron Hernandez: Uncovered’ and Netflix’s ‘Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez’, and even to Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s ‘American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson’, these works have all, in different degrees, interpreted the story of Aaron Hernandez. But it seems that it was not until the appearance of this FX series that people truly began to take interest in the life trajectory of this once brilliant NFL star.
