        Phenomenal and haunting

      • Nov 03, 2023

        The plot , the ambience and the acting was superb. Forget the cliffhanger… why on earth would they cancel it ?

        How did this GARBAGE get such a high rating? I wasted 8 hours of my life on the SLOWEST, most boring, completely pointless, and trash ending of my entire life!! I can't believe they compared this show to 'The Outcast' (that was a good show)! What was the point of this? Either he did it, or he didn't, but he couldn't remember - then there are like 7 other people they try to pin it on (or more) but all the evidence comes back to Naz (who of course is put down for being Muslim, way to divide people again). And because he's Paki, they won't grant him bail, so he's hardened by the system, and hooked on drugs?? By the end of the series, I COULDN'T CARE LESS WHO DID IT! I just wanted it to end, hopefully; with some time of twist ending, or proving who actually did it? I hate myself for choosing to watch this nonsensical trash! RECOMMENDATION: SKIP IT!! I hardly ever give a review of 1, but this was so deserving due to the number of people recommending!!! It was awful!!

        I won't talk about the actors' performance or the flawless details, and I'll summarize the series in a few words: It's a spiritual-sophisticated experience that the soul must go through in its lifetime to expand its consciousness. It's tough, yes, but necessary for the sleeper to awaken from their unawareness and see life from the bottom to the top! It's the soul's adventure in its dark night!

        This is a fantastic limited series. A taut, clever script that never fails to captivate. Turturro & Ahmed are excellent in the lead roles. One of if not the best shows of 2016.

      • Dec 29, 2022

        This series ponders on questions of race, bonds, trust, justice, identity and redemption. Also its a procedural of the US "justice" system that is so nuanced and absorbing, that one cannot dare not to watch. What haunts me ever since, are the drowning heaviness (e.g. chains, armored doors), the grime (in the cells), the surring of the ACs, the flickering and clicking of the neon lights, the bitter emptiness, the loneliness and most of all: the ruthless executions of the kafkaesque bureaucratic apparatus. A must see, like a small brother of The Wire. Even Omar returns to prison.

        Is really awesome, have you all ways in suspense, the only critic i have is that i what a close history.

      • Oct 05, 2022

        There needs to be more shows like this. Perfection.

      • Oct 04, 2022

        Cannot say enough good things about this series. This is multi layered, intense story telling - one unfortunate coincidence brings multiple different worlds together: a wealthy drifter, an aspiring immigrant, police of various backgrounds, lawyers, criminals. Once the series was over, I appreciated even more how all these intersecting worlds were set up from the beginning. The series gets you thinking about race, prejudice, entitlement, guilt, so much ambiguity at every turn. I don't think there is a single sub par performance in this. Riz Ahmed is outstanding as a beleaguered, dutiful son of hard working, conservative, conventional parents who has the worst night of his life and is set on a course which will utterly transform him. There is the inevitable question - what sort of inert ability to do evil things would someone need to have to survive. And the clear statement that even the worst criminals have good in them. Shades of grey everywhere. John Turturro's character has seen it all - a "precinct crawler", a cockroach of a lawyer and yet he has an unassailable moral compass which pushes him to pursue justice almost despite himself. He also has some genuinely funny scenes which would not seem possible in such a story, but they work. This is beautiful, philosophic story telling. It will stay with me.

        Loved it! Was on the edge of my seat until episode 5. This series impacted me and had me thinking how anything can change in a moments time.
