Described as a complicated and morally ambiguous drama series, "Rebel" -- executive produced and directed by John Singleton ("Boyz n the Hood") -- examines conflicts police officers of color encounter during a time when departments are dealing with charges of brutality and misconduct. Featuring many issues ripped from headlines, the story centers on Rebel Knight, a tough, intelligent, well-respected Oakland detective who has solved more homicides in the last three years than any of her peers. However, once Rebel becomes the focus of an intense internal affairs/criminal investigation involving the shooting of her little brother, she is forced to leave her job. Continuing to fight crime as a private eye, Rebel struggles with her brother's murder while defending herself from the dirty cops who are out for revenge.

Rebel is a clichd, melodramatic mess of a show with too few bright spots. Go to Full Review Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter 03/28/2017
She's a nonsensical character. So the serious issues that Singleton and the show's producers attempt to address come off like cheap window dressing -- contemporary relevance used to tart up a most generic work of art. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 03/28/2017
This isn't your sociology professor's crime drama. It's your grandfather's, and it's dirty, guilty fun - not exactly good, on the basis of its two-hour pilot, but definitely not boring. Go to Full Review Carolyn Hinds Black Girl Nerds 07/03/2018
Rebel is a show that delivers in unexpected ways. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 04/19/2017

08/23/2018 Looking forward to season two See more 05/10/2018 i really enjoyed this show and hope it gets a second season. Big ups to Soror Danielle Moné Truitt! oo-oop! See more 06/23/2017 Rebel is a Great Show! The leading actress Danielle Mone Truitt is a wonderful actress. John Singleton is Great at what he do. The show is Gritty, Fresh, and New with a Shaft like appeal. The show relates to topics that are going on all over the world. Which is great because it keeps up with the current. Its full of suspense a nice amount of action and even with the strong female lead, the character doesnt loose her feminine side. I love it, Im here for it and season 2 lets go!!! See more 06/07/2017 Not really impressed with "Rebel". She's supposed to be so tough and so smart but she's really not. To get that deeply involved with someone who shot at your brother? She can't forgive her ex husband for what he did with the bank docs but you can forgive the person that shot at your brother. As far as who the "Other" villain turned out to be...I was NOT surprised and figured it out by the end of the third episode. Probably won't watch when it returns. Only the episode when she realizes who the corrupt one is...only so I can see the stupid look on her face AND witness the feeling of disgust she should most definitely feel. See more 06/06/2017 I loved the whole entire agenda of the show hope there's a season two in the works See more 06/05/2017 Loved it waiting for season 2! See more Read all reviews
