When They See Us is a 4 part mini series that revolves around the true story of The Central Park Five, who were falsely imprisoned at young ages and put into jail without a truly fair trial. It features one of the most talented casts I've ever seen, with the acting range of the youth, especially Jharell Jerome who portrays Korey Wise, the oldest of the accused is beyond everything I would've expected. The casting for everyone is amazing. The kids stole the show. I hope they have acting careers after this.

This show isn't a plot. It's the telling of the events that happened to real people. And this has gotta be one of the most enraging shows I have ever seen. It's truly difficult to watch what these boys went through without getting angry at how they were treated. I had to restrain myself from wanting to punch the screen at times because I was THAT angry. It was horrific, and I finished episode 4 with hot tears in my eyes. I left emotionally exhausted. Through the anger and emotion it was too much. Just the injustices was all too much for me.

Now, I stumble across some of the negative reviews, and I swear some are just trolls. How can you claim 5 innocent people are still guilty to this day, even with 100% confirmed proof that they weren't guilty is beyond me. I'm disgusted by those people. Take you're biased self and leave. This was an injustice done by the law, and those kids didn't deserve their treatment.

A perfect 10 from me. This series was beautiful.
