    Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

    Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

    Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

    If this was about '60s I'd understand,but the show is too much about black people being abused by white people and how cops always shoot black folks for nothing. I really wanted to like the show and got through 5 episodes,but then just gave up.Music was horrible. Acting is just ok by some, good by others. Dialogs/writing is about 3/10. 6/10 for visuals as the main character looks like a Christmas Tree in his outfit. The whole serious is just too much hating for everyone else because black people are amazing and everyone else are bad. Come on!!! Absolute horrible! I don't even understand who this show is for. There's a lot of teenager nonses. There's a lot of stupid decisions that makes no sense what so ever by other characters. There's some attempt at humor,which often fails. There's drama and marriage related issues. There's some attempt at action,but actors can't fight so it looks so fake. I mean, what is it??? A teenager drama? Marriage drama? Action? It just get boring not to mention I couldn't click with any of the characters.And what city is the main hero at because everyone there seems to be black. Again, a lot of nonsense!

    I have read all the reviews but I wanted to see for myself. I have a special needs child who kept bugging me to watch it. I went in with an open mind, but low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. I believe the story lines are well balanced. The hero has flaws, the villain can be a sympathetic figure. I believe the action sequence for a television show are of decent quality. The show brings out race relation issues with a balanced touch. It does not show all white people being evil and black people being oppressed or discriminated against. But it does touch on current events and subject matter that can be dividing. I believe that the writers, actors, and director have addressed this racial divide without being overly preachy.

    So readin some reviews i think some people are hating a little bit too much on the show. It isn't a bad concept or plot but in my opinion the editing and writing really bring the whole show down.The show is difficult to watch because there are several jump cuts during conversations that are supposed to be important but i found myself being to distracted and disoriented to follow the dialogue. Also there are plot hole all over the place in both character introductions and in between scenes. Things just happen with very little explination as to why or how.
