Fora da Prisão

Finally, a show with black folks that's not just stupid comedy and gag jokes, or living a hard life growing up in the ghetto in poverty, or people suffering inhuman treatment in slavery, or drug gangsters. A show that shows the beauty in blackness. I love it. I am so tired of the stereotypical portrayals of black folks, because all black folks are not poor, all black folks are not gangsters, all black folks are not into drugs. Kerry Washington is a bright light and Delroy Lindo is a treasure. No formulaic gag jokes here. Kudos to the creatives on this project. Love and family is always messy and this shows we should never give up on either.

A totally unique show deserves to stay on the air! I'm so bummed to learn Hulu canceled this gem, and with THAT cliffhanger??! Hulu, do you hate us?!

The two seasons are still worth the watch. First season may start slow but it sure picks up steam. The second season is even better. I love the way the show was about facing and healing past traumas without being a constant train wreck.

My wife and I will miss this family. And I hate not knowing how that final storyline plays out. I guess we will just have to focus on the way they ended the other storylines. I'm glad those were positive.

Someone convince Netflix to pick this show up!

I have just started this one but I already have a question- I realize the chance might be slim- but did anyone else notice the house where her dad's ex lives is the same place where Kerry Washington's 'Scandal' dad lived?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Delroy and will pretty much watch anything he is in. I was not a big fan of 'Scandal' but ended up watching every season thru repeats. Got hooked obviously. So I do like Kerry too.

As others have mentioned, the first thing I did notice was that once again Kerry is playing a character that refers Caucasian men. At this point seeing her with a Black man would seem almost weird I think. But then again- The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants. Does not matter to me one way or the other.

Also I so wish this site would allow you to post a comment without requiring it to be the length of a short story!

This is a gem of a series. Great cast, great storyline, super charming, emotionally intelligent, witty and did I mention charming. Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo are superb, this had me hooked from the first episode, by the time I looked away from the screen I was on episode 8 and it had gone dark outside. I love how this series approached important and relevant subject matters but still managed to keep it light. Not an easy thing to do but achieved through super smart writing, perfect timing and seamless delivery from this talented cast. I really hope we get a season 2, I need to know where the story goes. 10/10.

I swear this movie is so real and hit home! It was truly written by someone that has had to deal with people that have been locked up and the post treatment! Both my mother and father were in prison when I was little and I remember the terrible feeling I had when I would go visit and see them behind bars and not being able to get to close to them and being told visiting hours are over!! And when my mom got out she couldn't get jobs at descent places because she was a felon even though she wasn't on parole and had served her time!! Every time she went right and tried to do right she was reminded of all the wrong she did even though she never went back to the streets and separated herself from the old life. Thank God a friend gave her a job and let her take home leftovers and I was 16 and able to work!! But I cried because I felt his pained and lived through it!! It's made me a ver compassionate and caring individual!! GREAT SERIES!!!
