Great Show. Wonderful Cast. Natasha Rothwell is so talented! She gets a chance to show some of her range by playing a lovable, but insecure and fearful woman who is slowing coming out of her shell to live a Bigger life. The supporting cast is amazing, too. Conrad Ricamora (HTGAWM), KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Elle Lorraine (Insecure) and Jaylee Hamidi (who is stunning) are my favorites. But the entire cast is pitch perfect. I sincerely hope that this show gets renewed! Btw, Hulu-Onyx is replacing HBO as the go-to for great content featuring diverse creators and diverse actors.

Outstanding, Near Perfect Film! Ava DuVernay accomplished an incredible feat depicting social hierarchies or caste, and the ways in which they lead to dehumanization, violence, and mass suffering. Yet, the film was surprisingly uplifting and motivating to resist the forces, so-called "leaders", ideologies, and -ism's that attempt to divide us. Life is so Beautiful - particularly when we allow ourselves to be open to giving and receiving love, warmth, and respect from All of our fellow human beings. I would be remiss to mention the absolute brilliance of Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor's performance! Her portrayal of the intellectual journey that a scholar-writer goes on was both thrilling and cathartic. Nicey Nash and Jon Bernthal were exceptional. And the respective actors that played the German-Jewish couple in Nazi Germany, the African American couple who were Harvard-trained anthropologists, and the group of South Asian academics in India all did Amazing jobs. If you want to deeply FEEL and understand why there has and continues to be so much social division as well as oppression and leave feeling empowered to change it for the better, I implore you to watch this work of art!

Great show. Highly entertaining. Shanola Hampton and the rest of the cast are extremely good. The whole premise of this show requires suspension of disbelief (e.g. a kidnap survivor locates, procures and imprisons her former kidnapper). If you are looking for a true-to-life or "realistic" show, "Found" likely isn't for you. If you are looking for a more unique/creative way into a psychological thriller with a number of interesting themes including trauma, PTSD, attachment, trust, and the ways in which events in childhood shape us as adults, you will very likely enjoy this show. The "race-related" complaints regarding this show are totally overblown, if not ridiculous. It is a diverse cast that works well together to solve missing person cases that often are overlooked by police. There is no "hostility" toward the police. Heck, the main character's love interest is a policeman! The tension is between vigilantism vs. the rules and procedures associated with traditional law enforcement. There are decades of empirical research that demonstrate African Americans, Asian Americans, Indigenous/Native Americans and Latin Americans are disproportionately depicted as villains or antagonists. It's laughable to say it's "woke" to have one show in which the antagonist happens to be a White male. White males are depicted as the main characters and protagonists in the overwhelming majority of television roles (even though they makeup only ~30% of Americans). So, cry me a river...
