Glenn Rifkin

A brilliant reimagining of this classic story by the master storyteller Del Toro. Visually stunning, remarkable performances by Oscar Isaac and the entire cast, and a haunting story about man’s inhumanity to man. Epic.

Great series. I'm in the middle of season 2 and it's tough to stop watching. Whether or not you love basketball, but especially if you do, this is an excellent look at the hyper-competitive world of pre-college hoop. But it is more than that. It is a brilliantly acted look at family, loyalty, humility, the pangs of love and growing up, the bonds of friendship, the pain of knowing that sometimes you have to lose to find victory later. The acting is just superb and the basketball action is realistic and well choreographed. Don't miss it.

The story definitely sucks you in but the absurd ending just reeks of terrible writing and lame storytelling. If there is more inept police department in television land, it would be tough to find it. Ultimately not worth the time invested.

Beautifully etched portrait of a young woman’s struggle to find herself and her place in a lonely bewildering world. Chess set sales will go through the roof after this one. Great series!!

Very funny and clever. Fun to get the French sensibility about the film business
