jurajspisak-18132 Interesting story that could be told in 2-3 episodes. Full of edits and repeated scenes, not good film-making.
neilmack-16250 Shameful film making. This is a really important narrative but the filmmakers are more concerned with imposing their style on the story. It's an exercise in career development when it should be a compassionate exposition and discussion of a nuanced issue. All edits. No details. The filmmakers need to have a long hard look at themselves in order to decide who and what they're trying to protect. The fact this is currently scoring above 8 leads me to despair of any real fundamental change.
camillacoy Every single person who had a hand in this young man's incarceration and, ultimately, his death, should be ashamed. Unfortunately, they never are. In particular, Judge DiMango. As an officer of the court, she had the burden of protecting Kalief's rights. I do not care that the state of New York's court system is overwhelmed. She was notorious for scaring defendants into taking plea deals in order to get cases off her docket quickly. She did not care that the person may actually be innocent; that was beside the point. She wanted to keep her reputation of being a bully intact. Shame on her. I will never watch her ridiculous TV show again. She portrays herself as a funny, charismatic person.And while those things may or may not be true, her dark side is the part of her that should keep her awake at night.
Kenyae Kofi This document series was very crazy. I personally have been racially profiled! This series shows that America is a joke and needs to be ready and willing to progress as a nation and wrongful convictions is no way to go about it. This also shows that we not only need a better jail system but a better government system. Kalief Browder was completely destroyed after this mistreatment over a damn book bag that may have or may not have been robbed by him. The system needs to be changed to a spot where we make criminals change as individuals to sane people if possible and that we don't arrest people for no unlawful reasons. When watching this series I was terrified and I felt like I was watching a suspense or horror series where someone was going to die. I don't think anyone should go through this and hopefully the system gets better to help people instead of making them worse off then what they were.
