What a drastic disappointment for someone who loves Spike Lee movies. With the exception of Jeffrey Wright's and ASAP Rocky's characters, they're all unrealistically emotionless, which makes the movie lazy and the acting blase. It's like Lee is an old man, ranting Cosby-like for young black folks to pull up thier pants. A mom who doesn't lose her sh*t when her son is kidnapped and doesn't even shed a tear? A man who is supposed to the heart and soul of a music industry built on pure emotion that plucks stars out of poverty and hardship, who doesn't even wrestle with his decision to let his own godson die because he doesn't want to pay the ransom? W.T.F. Man, this is bad.

The motivation behind pro-gun voters, and their hypocrisy, and the tragic results are all perfectly represented in this this thrilling drama.

Excellent. Moves a little slow in places but revelatory.

There is no way this series deserves less than a 5. The ensemble cast is fantastic; the effects better than any high-budget sci-fi big-screen movie; the writing is excellent. It's been a long time since a series this well done hit the small screen.
