Blindspotting

From the creative storytelling to the spoken word solos and fantastic dance scenes, this show has it all! I stumbled on this show with no warning on plot line. Two episodes in I was hooked! I don't usually write reviews so this is short, but I honestly admire this show and the layers of art presented each episode.

The characters are real life and relatable. The stress of jail and what it does to families. The culture of multiple races all intersecting. Multigenerational families. Add to it a very well written script and some serious actors. This all blends with dream sequences and some of the most beautiful dance on film. Give it a try.

2021 - Everything about this show is amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and this show lives up to, if not exceeds that, by a million. Excellent pilot. Emmy award-winning actress Jasmine Cephas Jones and this entire cast are so perfectly chosen. The minds of Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs are seriously put into play with this show, creating such a unique piece of art that we dont get to see often in Hollywood. With just the right amount of comedy and drama, verse and choreography, and hella town refrence, I can tell this series is gonna be good. Bringing the Bay to our screens in the best way possible.

EDIT - 2023: Just watched the first two episodes of the second season. BLINDSPOTTING traverses the realm of television once again. From the movement artistry to the powerful verse and dialogue, this show is truly a love letter to Oakland and continues to outdo itself by being a work so unique and never seen before.

I wanted to watch awhile ago just usually don't have access to STARZ once in blue moon it's a solid service. Kinda surprised this isn't higher than 6.6 on IMDb but I guess that's pretty good. Thoroughly entertaining series may not for everyone fairly provocative, vulgar, goofy, more moving crew greatness, and I love the cast in every episode! I'm glad I got into Blindspotting I've been kinda out of shows to choose from recently. I'm not sure if I like the movie or show more but I very much enjoyed Daveed Digs, the Ebonics and the directing in both. I would recommend this to anyone I'm quite satisfied!

I was told about this show from a friend of mine and wanted to check it out. I'm definitely into it, but the random scene of dancing are weird and I feel completely unnecessary. They take over the show and every-time they come on I'm like WTF and I skip past it. I like the messages conveyed for sure.

Not bad. Refreshing for Starz. Love watching things with POC but I hate when it's street thuggish ghetto stuff. We need more shows with upscale people of color and less shows of this. I get it tho. There is a great portion of us that live this life, but so do many whites. Great show though.
