Colin en noir et blanc

I'm wondering why this series was rated so low, I can only surmise it has been rated by individuals who may take offence to the subject matter.

This is an eye opener of a show

The biographical nature makes it even more endearing to view. Acting is superb and if you're not easily offended by a lot racial references then this is for you.

Let's get one thing straight from the start: when Colin took the knee it triggered the very worst of America as well as the very best. And that's what you'll see reflected in the reviews here on IMDB.

I am sure that many of the scenes in this short series will spark anger. To many, this will feel like 6 episodes of whining and playing the race card.

But for many more people, this will be an inspiring story. A lesson in perseverance, in being yourself and in standing up, or taking a knee, for what you believe in.

To everyone else, the people who can't get past their outrage and anger, all I have to say is this: please post your 1 star reviews, slam Colin for his lecturing, reaffirm that America is great and that this is a load of crap. The more you do that, the more right you make him, the better this series is, and the more necessary it becomes that people watch it.

I am not sure why this show has such a low rating (but I will write why I think it has so in the end of this review).

I am myself nor American (I am Swedish) nor am I black but I do have a big intrest in learning about equislity rights in general and read a lot about America. When I first ever heard about Colin Kaepernick was because of his kneeling. This has made me a fan of mister Kaepernick, because he is not afraid to show what he belives in, so yes I am a bit bias in that aspect in this review.

The show is about the love for fotball and baseball that Colin Kaepernick has and how a passion like that gives meanings in many different ways. Both of Colins parents are ordinary people who happends to be white. They don't always see how for examples some things can be racial micro aggressions or how the word 'thug' can be condescending when used of how someone lools like. They are just not aware because of their white privileged. This is of importans since it's a reality. The education about rasism is well put and soft. Though I would guess that it's a bit sugercoated.

Most importantant is that it's a young mans story and perspective. The young Kaepernick is a man who is navigating throgh who he is and what he belives in. He has excellent grades, friends and good but naive parents. He lives in a white town and seem to be almost the only tall and black man. Keapernick hiself is also the narrator and descibes to the viewer of his past thoughts and how ge views them. As a narrator of this show he also educates with history, perspective and scenarios on rasism which is partly why I enjoy this show so much.

The show is in it self is easy, exciting, educational and fun to watch! It reminds me a bit of the show "Young Sheldon", but has more maturness and is not a sitcome.

I know there are some people in Americans who doesnt agree with Colin Kaepernicks kneeling. With that I am aware that The UNited states seems torn when it comes to politics which I am guessing some people have rated this show so low. Because lets be honest this show is good! So don't judge this show by the low ratings, I would guess the ratings are more political than anything else.

I belive this show is for everyone who like some easygoing drama. The storytelling is perfect but I am missing a more deep understanding of the young Colin. I would like to have heard more about his identity. On the same time that might would have made the meaning of the show go away!

This was wonderfully done, but it will definitely trigger some. Give it a chance, watch it with an open mind, and don't let the negative reviews dissuade you. It honestly shows what a lot of Americans/ppl think and act like towards others who are different due to their fear or ignorance-- which I'm sure has been witnessed by many. I'm sure as you read some of the reviews and see the ratings, the aforementioned ppl will show you who they are.

It's really good. I came in with average expectations but Ava does it again. Introspective and insightful. Definitely worth a watch. And ignore the one star reviews. They're just trolls who are still hurt by his peaceful kneeling.
