OUTSTANDING SHOW Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/23 Full Review Giorgi V Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for, Great script, Great acting. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review r b This is an all around great production. Two of the best career performances by Forest Whitaker and Vincent D'Onofrio. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review marc b I would have rated this one much higher but there is too much time allotted to dramatizing and preaching civil rights issue(s) and too much time ignoring the blatant racism, in particular antisemitsm, of the Nation of Islam. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Apart from the main storyline the side stories didn't convince me. For instance, the Stella and Ernie story lack of authenticity, could have been done better. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Narcos creator Chris Brancato ensures that there's plenty of explosive action to augment a story that spreads out to Malcolm X and civil-rights leader and dodgy politician Adam Clayton Powell. Solid. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
