Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
sheepshearer I thought this was the continuance of the show about OJ Simpson, but it seems to be completely different. I had to stop watching. The characters are terrible and the story was boring.
Bert Krus I've been watching American Crime ever since the first season. Now I just finished season 3. For me, as a European, this is one of the best American series I've seen in a very long time. The series portrays the average American citizen struggling to get through life. Jobs, relationships, friendships, they are all far from perfect. What strikes me the most is that the people disappoint each other deeply. Men belittle women, the rich exploit the poor, family is betrayal and the youth is forlorn and empty. But then comes the point of somebody seeking justice. Some get it, but many don't and have bite the dust. Next to the story, the acting and directing is of the highest level. Felicity Huffmann, Timothy Hutton and Lili Taylor are fantastic in their drama and lunacy.
m-arsic0708 i still don't get the rating, it is one of the best series running. no cheap tricks, no "unexpected but seen a million times" turns and twists. each episode is just another brick in the wall for all the characters. and they are not black or white, they are grey. like everyone in real life. when they move to a darker or lighter shade of grey it is just life as it is. highly recommendable!!!
The Couchpotatoes Being an ABC series I didn't have high hopes for this one. I only saw season one yet, but if I have to be honest it was entertaining. It's not the best crime drama I ever saw but it's certainly worth a watch. Even though there are a couple characters and/or actors that I don't really like the rest of the cast is okay. At one point they started too much focusing on religion and that was not a good way to go to. Racism and religions are two things I hate but in this season the racism card seems logic in the story. On the other hand the whole religion stuff is just annoying. What annoyed me as well is the sometimes amateur filming of some conversations where you hear people talking but they show those same people doing something else without talking. I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they shot those scenes but to me it didn't look professional at all. But for the story itself season one was worth watching. I will give the second season a chance with the hope they don't continue their stupid religions. Edit after watching season two: I am extremely disappointed with season two. It was painful to watch, with a lot of awful characters, bad acting, a bad story, and still amateur directing. I gave season one a seven but that was a bit too much. Season two gets a 2 so that gives a total of 4 and a half what I will round down to a four. This show doesn't deserve more. I'm not even going to bother watching the next season.
