This was pitched to me as pro BLM but after watching it, whether intentional or not, illustrates how quick people are to jump to conclusions and how social media capitalizes on it. It also hammers some facts of life that people haven't been paying attention to lately. This would be awesome to show in a classroom to dissect and discuss. If you an adrenaline junkie and just like to be entertained I can recommend a dozen or so movies with the same basic plot you'll like better. If you like movies that challenge a narrative or morality then I would say this is absolutely one to watch. However I will add the caveat that its power in this regard is tied to current events and may lose some zest as it ages. They cite a few 'facts' along the way that compels me to add one as well. The creation of SWAT was the state response to the Watts riots in the 60's. Just FYI for those who think rioting is the way to 'demilitarize' the police.
Jumped into Quibi last night. Some shows I didn't finish, some I finished to give it a fair shake. This was the first show that I couldn't turn off. Only knock is the acting isn't great at times.
Was good but could have been better. There is not a single white person in the show who supports blacks and all whites were cruel. It could have been little better but other than that, it was good to watch it.
The drama isn't worth 2 ads every 5 mins. This format of short 6-10 min segments of shows is not going to be successful without amazing shows. The production values of the show is good but the story isn't well thought out. Some major flaws in the story. 1. Why wouldn't he tell his side of the story to his own wife. I understand they want the mystery but that can be done by him telling his wife but viewers not listening in.
2. Why would he go to his own wife and son and put them in danger. Then won't send them out as soon as he can.
3. Why would he shoot at the police. As if he shoots or kills a police officer that's another crime and this time he wouldn't be considered innocent.
4. Why did he run in the first place and in the process kill the police officer. He could have just dropped the gun from his lap and that's that.
5. Show is too slow to be an action drama. They could have just made it drama. But this is mish-mash of both.
This is the third show I have watched (endured) on Quibi. I just say they are all the same. Over promising and under delivering. The premise is good, the production quality is great but there are gaping holes in the stories.

Great show. Very well excecuted. Fast start, good action with interesting characters. So far the best show I saw on Quibi.
