From IMDB:
Tensions run high between African American citizens and Caucasian cops in Jersey City when a teenage African American boy is critically injured by a cop.
From Netflix you can stream this 10 episode series. Each episode is about an hour except the final episode is 80 minutes.
In the very beginning we see Officer Peter Jablonski accidentally run down a black boy Brenton who was riding his bicycle through the park on a snowy day. Immediately his corrupt white police buddies convince him to hide the crime as they drag the living boy to a ditch and leave him to bleed out over 12 hours. All ten very tense episodes relate the effort by a black female Assistant DA named KJ Harper and a white policeman Joe ‘Fish’ Rinaldi to seek justice. Along the way we spend time with each member of Brenton’s family and the police families as their lives are sadly changed by the killing. If there is a theme here, it is “Black Lives Should Matter” even if, sadly, black lives do not matter.
Acting is superb. None of the actors were familiar to me. Even the villains stand out as especially heinous, especially the unscrupulous white woman who defends the police.
For me much of the tension was getting to the end to see how the trial turns out. Enjoy the gripping ride while you predict what a realistic ending would be.
