Good actors. good production value but the plot is horrible and completely unbelievable. A black man gets chased and shot at after witnessing a murder but quickly devolved into a poorly written story. The main actor is great but wasted on having him play dumb the entire time. For some reason the cops barely look over a crime scene and deduce this well-dressed and educated black man is either guilty or making up a story, ignoring any and all police procedure or protocols for the token racism plot. And the main character omits showing the police the tracker he found or information to further this ridiculous plot for some odd reason. Talented cast wasted on a stupid plotline.
Very shallow, hollow storyline, no depth to the main character except maybe a poster for a 'stroke' or constipation, as he continously has a fractured facial expression right throughout every scene! The actor who played his wife was phenomenal!
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. I love Colman Domingo but couldn’t figure out why he had the same facial expression in every scene. lol
Best TV show I’ve watched on Netflix in 2024 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯 it was everything a thriller series. Amazing plot twists, suspense, shocking discoveries, fantastic screenplay. If you’re contemplating about watching this, please just watch it. The show does come across as slightly left wing but it makes up for it by showing the cons of both extremities. I related a lot to this show, not just as a mixed raced man. So I understand how some white people might not enjoy this show but trust me the show is so good you’ll forget about all the contextual political nuances surrounding it. Anyway black,white, Latino, Asian, man or woman it’s for everyone to watch and enjoy. I’m a busy man with business but This show was so bingeable I too a day off and finished it in 1 day too bad it’s a limited series so there won’t be a season 2 😭 Colman Domingo was an excellent actor in this series he executed the show and did justice to the character with pure finesse. He really made you connect with Muncie Daniels. I hope Colman wins another Emmy for this show because he definitely deserves it. 🙏🏽🎉
On episode 1. Apart from the “cancerous tumour ….” Long sentence doesn’t ring true. No one would say all that a second after seeing the reason for reaction on paper. I don’t know why writers 1st then directors don’t see how bad it is in rehearsal and it’s delivery (take a breath) is then edit it out or reshoot. Not a big deal? I’m still thinking about the sentence and not the film. Another absurdity. The main character’s attorney tells him to go to The Ritz hotel all expenses paid. He’s being chased and then followed. Without going that far why would he opt for bringing his family to a motel (bedroom doors open to parking lot) knowing that someone is chasing him and has just threatened his family? Is it laziness on behalf of production ? Cost issues? Between a 5 ***** and the ‘Days Inn’ there are options. So yet again…doesn’t seem likely. 7 more episodes to go but I may not follow through. There’s always the 10 and 20 minute rule. Within the 1st 10 minutes you should know what the movie is about and after 20 minutes, if you’re going to like it or not. Tony Merrit teacher at a film production class told us about it years ago. Try it.. it holds up. For the moment, better than some of the mono/diologue and choices made. Colman Domingo is good here and I wonder if he too thought that phrase too long not thought out and totally out of place and screams of SCRIPT! Someone had a real crush on it though. Should had left it on the floor. Well see. That said now I’m looking st the way the film was made when I could have been engrossed.
Colman Domingo is sexy and a fantastic actor. If there was a reboot of the movie, An Officer and a Gentleman he would be great in the role of the late great Lou Gossett's character
This show could have been good. Regardless of a person‘s color, if They go to the police and tell them that they saw a dismembered body and had to survive a night in the woods after being chased by the killers, and the police were to go to the man’s cabin that he was renting And could clearly see that his tires were slashed they would take the situation seriously. But because the main character is a black man, obviously they went with the racist cop route. Completely unrealistic. This would never happen in today’s world. Quite the ridiculous storyline actually. Highly disappointing Netflix. This could have been a good show. Enough with all the propaganda. The guy worked for CNN for God sake. He could afford a cabin in the Poconos. Just so ridiculously unrealistic.

I watched this because of the main actor. Watched it as background noise

I loved it and binge watched it too.
Minutes in and based on this one actor, plus environments, gonna be up there with the best - which are often Scandinavian:)
Show is fire, really entertaining. Enjoying it thus far. Really Great pilot.

Coleman is amazing in everything he is in. I loved him in Fear The Walking Dead.
This is a bot. This show was a 5 out of 10.
I’m black and I’m saying this because of what I’m about to say. The series was horrible, ridiculous story line and no depth to the plot.
It's very good to but if you're on the run, wouldn't getting rid of the beard be the first thing you'd do?
So many twists and turns 👍😀

You didnt get it. Its not only about him being black but also that he had no chance from te beginning. They got orders from above.
Yes it is he’s basically DON LEMON
