Seven Seconds is undermined by unlikable characters with somewhat predictable arcs, but its grim reflections of societal and racial division are brought to life by able performers and a fearless overall narrative. Read critic reviews

Good writing, cast, direction, and production gives new and vibrant life to an old story of the heavy tensions between dirty, white cops and black, gang-related citizens. In Jersey City, of all places. The characters are complex, flawed, very well drawn, and superbly played. The impossibility of achieving justice in such a corrupt and unfairly weighted "system" is explored to the hilt in this compelling series.
-
Very gripping and at times gritty, this series was full of emotion. Regina King is fantastic as always and the surrounding cast ia as well with the exception of a few detectives.

The premise is rich, the plot is compelling, and much of the acting is stellar, but there are so many writing flaws, stereotypes, caricatures, and cliches, that I found myself cringing quite a bit. The character of Assistant Prosecutor is one blaring example of most, if not all of the aforementioned missteps. For example, the show's handling of her alcoholism = yikes! I watched the show in its entirety mostly because of the acting of many of the key players, which, again, is stellar, and because I was curious to see how all the labyrinthine plot paths would come together. Some plot twists were just flat out ridiculous, and hence only some come together in the end to make sense and to provide some semblance of satisfying resolution.

THIS MOVIE DOES NOT HAVE THE ENDING WE WOULD WANT SO WE'RE DEFLATED FOR THE MOMENT. BUT, I ASSURE YOU THE DEPICTION OF RACISM, A FEW COMPROMISED COPS (DON'T JUMP ON ME, I SAID A FEW), BUT WHAT'S WORSE IS THE BLUE LINE OF SILENCE, LOOK THE OTHER WAY, DAs AND JUDGES WHO ARE PRONE TO LENIENCY FOR COPS BECAUSE THEY FEAR THE BLOWBACK. THIS IS PRESENTED WITH AN EXCELLENT ENSEMBLE CAST AND AUTHENTIC DIALOGUE. WOW

Awesome Series! Depicted crooked cops and the the truth for justice. A Mother who would not give up and believed in her son, who do whatever it took to bring justice for her son. Also playing into the justice system, a black woman as the Prosecutor and a white detective working together to find the truth. I'm not a fan of protestors, but here their serving justice. The series portraits the grieving parents, the unjust cop who was trying to hide everything, the actual cop who accidentally hit the boy, and wanted to turn himself in numerous times... But another cop persuaded him not to. It goes through all the troubles and tribulations of all the families involved and what they are going through. Great series, only occasionally boring, mostly intriguing and suspenseful. I would definitely recommend this. Sad thing is, it truly was an accident. But the police knew it would never be held in court that way, which is shameful. It was Seven Seconds in which the accident happened!

The performances of the cast are gripping and powerful.

Too long, too many holes, too much ‘oh that's convenient'. And no justice. Meh

Can't wait for season 2

It's starts interesting but at the end the story don't fit really together. The way the investigation is done is a bit lame. Okay for a evening where is nothing on tv.
