Blindspotting

If you've not from the Bay Area or never even been to Oakland, then you will not get this show. And no, I'm not talking about Berkeley, or even Alameda County, I'm talkin' bout' the Town! The birthplace of the hyphy movement, that West coast pimp game, west coast spoken word, The Black panthers, and so much influential black culture, it's impossible to lay out in this post. The negative reviews are astonishing to me. Theshow is weird, just like the town of Oakland, which is what makes it so on point to the follow-up from the movie. If you don't know anything the Town, W. Kamau Bell has a good episode on United Shades of America. Please bring this show back for more seasons. And if you have never seen Rafel Casal do his spoken word, that is something you definitely need to check out!

A five star rating may seem low, but seems fitting compared to some of the Starz' greats. The plot and setting of this series are a nice change to the norm of new tv series. I enjoyed the acting and storyline while the characters are actually... in character/dialogue. While I can appreciate a poetic and cultural dance theme, it definitely seems forced and out of place for this particular series. Stick to the main plot, add some more drama and conflict, and this show may have more promise.

Digging the Flashbacks Outfits Music and Dancing. Familiar East Bay Landmarks. Good Luck in Business Girls but Be careful..

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.

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!
