    Interesting twist to the story

    I thought the first episode was captivating from the start. The story started with a bang and kept my attention till the end of the episode. I'm definitely intrigued to watch the next episode. The Characters definitely gave me personality - Sanaa Lathan gives a lot of sass, which absolutely loved! You know she's going to play the bad cop in the show. Stephan James oozed with personality and every word that came out of his mouth, I believed. So I'm going to hang on to my seat and wait for a few more episodes.

    Awesome show much needed!! Cant wait to see more👏👏

    This show is awesome. It's about life in America its truth. "Some" people can't except who they really are and don't want to believe there are cops who shoot because of color.The world still has racism and "Some" can expect who they are and "Some" can't not because there frauds and dishonest. I pray this shows continues to warm hearts and open minds to those who want change and believe in change. I see the comments and the most disgusting ones are the ones who probably sit home and say n-word or say that's what they get. Which is so unfair most of the comments seem like hatred or don't believe in change. But I do so I will continue to watch this show and pray for those of weak minds and hatred hearts. ONE LOVE ONE LIFE ONE CREATOR 🙏 ✊✊✌

    This should've come back

    First of all: Stephan. James. Is. A. Snack.

    I appreciate what this show tried to do... looking at racially charged police killings from the other side of the divide, i.e. a black cop shoots a white kid. I liked that because dialogue is valuable, and not too many people are willing to venture in this direction in the thick of BLM. The conspiracy theories were deeply woven and I felt like they should have taken more than a season to unravel. The cast was powerful and perfect. While I'm upset that this was cancelled, I kinda see how it would've been hard to have a second season. I found the first season so nicely complete. I would've watched it still anyway. And finally, in case you didn't catch it before.

    STEPHAN. JAMES.

    Goosebumps

    I'm Asian male that grew up in a working class neighborhood and episode 1 gave me goosebumps because it aligns so much with our reality. You probably thinking how can I say that when I'm an Asian male. Truth is, many of our struggles are similar to blacks in America. You may not know, but there is an Asian gang culture in every major cities in America due to the same reasons that make it hard for blacks to succeed in America. Any law enforcement officers in major cities can confirm this.

    Many of the critics will tell you it's a race baiting/anti-police show because they are out of touch with reality and blindly support anybody with a badge while living in their echochamber. Also, they don't understand the difference between anti- police vs. anti-corruption.
