This show was tragic and had that crash movie effect meaning like we all mess up which is true, but this thinking can be detrimental to black folks. And uplift the thinking of whites and not fix the issue. How many fucking black police officers shoot white kids. None to the ratio of blacks..

I thought it was only supposed to be a mini-series? Anyways, it seems like pushing the show back is what killed them. I remember seeing a good amount of promo for this show late last summer when they had originally planned to air it in the fall, but I stopped hearing news about this show when they pushed back the premier date.

I couldn't buy her in the role. She just wasn't right for that show. And, the show just wasn't interesting enough. I watched about 4 episodes as well.
