It think it's a good story and great cast. It has some good laughs and serious moments.
I wish the picture was better. Not sure why it's so "foggy". Its like a low budget film that can't afford proper lighting.
Also I disagree about them imlying the boy got in trouble at school because of racism, "the world is always going to smack him down". When I see so many successful black people in this show to use that line is the opposite of the of what they are showing.
