    For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

    This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

    Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

    The Divide is intelligent, thoughtful, well written and acted and unlike many American programs, aims high, assuming the viewers can think.The story line, or lines are well thought out and allow the cast to flesh out their roles and I found myself much more intrigued than I had expected to be. It reminded me of some of my long gone Canadian favorites like Da Vinci's inquest where plot lines ran for whole seasons. It's a shame that networks trash shows like this so early and seem to have no patience to let things grow. Everything has to be big and spectacular right off the bat instead of allowing things to grow throughout a few seasons; they could learn a lot from a good gardener. As to the reviewers who disliked comments within the plot that they disagreed with; too bad, isn't that what makes a democracy?

    I just finished watching the entire series on Amazon. It was a well- above average crime drama. The acting was very good with one exception. The actor who portrayed the prosecutor, Damon Gupton, was not up to par in my opinion. He had good lines, but didn't always deliver them convincingly. However, the rest of the cast made up for this deficiency and he seemed to become more proficient as the series progressed. There were plenty of twists and lots of suspense, to keep me interested. It was violent, but not over-the-top. The plot centered around an organization that was like the real-life Innocence Project, taking on cases of questionable convictions. It explored the push and pull that goes on between these kind of advocates for the wrongfully(?) convicted and the criminal justice system.My biggest complaint about the series was the fact that there were too many loose ends left in the finale. It was terribly disappointing to find out that there will not be a second season because I have plenty of questions about the ultimate fate of several characters. Several users here accused the series of being too politicized.... pretty ironic, considering their reviews were chock full of their own political commentary.

    I'm giving it a cautious rating of 6, because I was able to catch only a couple of episodes of the first season and because, based on what I saw, it appeared that this might be a series that was just warming up in its first season.I didn't watch any TV at all in 2015...not on strike, just one of those "life got in the way" things. With the new year starting, and life settled down a bit, I decided it was time to catch up on what I had missed.This was the first series I looked for, having been sufficiently impressed by those couple of episodes to have remembered it all this time. I was very disappointed to learn that it had been canceled, probably not long after the couple of episodes I watched.I can't give you an in-depth review, because by now I've forgotten the details of those couple of episodes. What I remember is that the series seemed to have great potential for both characters and plot of above-average nuance, complexity, and intelligence. Perhaps it would never have lived up to that potential, but I wish it had been given more of a chance.

    OH dear me. The show is so totally a liberal you know what fest that one almost needs a condom to watch it, which I did for one and half episodes. Haha. The male lead lawyer then made some asinine statement like "Where did they learn their journalism, Fox News?" and that was it people. The Fox News team is by far the single best journalistic group presently gracing the airways and make CNN and a few others like the NBC propaganda machine for oboso look almost like the goo between the elephants toes. People really! Bleeding hearts madness in a chamber full of acting horrors. What gives with people who actually like this show? I want to know? From the very outset one absolutely knows the way things are going to progress. Stereotypical garbage from the bleachers made to support the liberal brainwashed masses. The legal accuracy is so off one would never approach a lawyer ever and then again maybe one should do this just to see how dumb this show is. OK Enough said about the script (sic) etc, now down to this mad woman lead, another one of the recent mad women in some form of important position doing her do without so much of a regard for the law and others that it only makes me wonder why men do not employ women for serious work more? This is a travesty and every American woman should be horrified at how women are portrayed in shows like this. Really ?? I say again REALLY??? Do not watch this garbage and make your displeasure known to the stations carrying this garbage and the sponsors. When are Americans going to wake up? I doubt ever!
