The backdrop of this series and the timing of this release is brutally numbing. #Freerayshawn examines how policing in this country has become far more tactical than resolution based. The pursuit of justice is aggressive; the enforcement is aggressive and the response is even more aggressive. #Freerayshawn examines that line and illustrates just how thin it is. Right or wrong the beauty of cinema is sometimes the canvas of conversation. Don't judge the content but the thought-provoking conversation you should have with yourself after. Is the system Broken? #Freerayshawn
Really showing the truth. Some people not going like it because it was fast. And some won't like the narrative but it will make you think it's based on a true story. I wanted more.

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.
First I'll say that Seith Mann is a genius Director. But it's interesting that white men (the writer is white - big mistake) can only imagine a world where Black men lose everything and are always somewhat guilty. Black victims of police malevolence are innocent full stop. The whiteness of the writer shows.
As usual the actors were phenomenal with what little they were given. Laurence Fishburne is a national treasure. Stephan James is amazing. Jasmine Cephas Jones equally amazing. The little boy - beautiful and heartbreaking. The writing just sucked. They all deserved better.
I can't wait to see real Black liberation on screen. Now that will be epic... and it is coming
