what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Blistering performances.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This series shows us the reality about being a black person in the occidental world. Just watch it.

I've put spoilers because I was disappointed with the finale although I think I understand it was trying to make a social and political point to what does happen or at least can happen in the American justice system. I personally like to see a definitive and where possible happy and positive ending but this is not and no justice is served. That all been said some of the acting in this show is outstanding. Fish is fantastic and it has to be said the baddies are first class actors also. It does start slowly but by epsidoe 4 I was gripped. Definitely worth watching on Netflix and would be interested to read what others thought of the ending.

From the first minute to the last it took my breath and got all my attention. I really loved this serie...!

Great plot, burns slowly with everyone giving strong performances. Unlike others I found the ending strong, it didn't tie it all up in a bow and felt more real as a result
