American Crime

Is anyone watching it this season? It's on ABC. Definitely not portraying IS in a good light! Of course it's just TV but it's seems to touch on a lot of issues I have read about on various DCUM threads. Thoughts on the show?

Most one hour network TV dramas are definitely close to documentaries. Like on "Scandal" -- having the courage to break the under-reported story that sometimes people in the government assassinate members of the President's family. "American Crime" is a great insight into independent schools.

Yes, I'm watching it. Good cast. Good to see Lili Taylor again. I'm so glad I'm not a teenager today; that's my takeaway for now at least.

I've loved Timothy Hutton since "Ordinary People" when he was a teenager.

Yes. I love it.

Yes. I love it. I work in the criminal justice system and it is the absolute best show on TV depicting the criminal justice system. I loved the first season and have been waiting for the second.

And as an adult in Beautiful Girls. Swoon.

Another fan here. I didn't see season 1, but happened to catch the first episode of this season. I kept trying to figure out if that was Andre Benjamin on my screen, but ended up getting hooked on the story. I'm very interested to see what happens.

Yes, that's Andre 3000.

Anyone catch last night's episode? I wasn't expecting the twist at all. So interesting to see how the he said/he said story plays out. I'm still wondering what role the other boys played in the events at the party.

I wasn't expecting that either.

Very surprised that what really happened unfolded so quickly. That's a good thing because now the story will focus on the he said/he said and how the privileged may or may not prevail. I love this show and using the anthology format; keeps it fresh and the actors are phenomenal.

This is one of the best shows on television right now. I was just blown away by the episode the other night because it's so realistic. Anyone who has worked with juvenile cases before can relate to this season. Last season was awesome as well. Nothing on television intrigues me these days. However, I love American Crime because it's like viewing a real life court case or a current event. The writers really take you on a journey. It also addresses stereotypes and how we perceive others without knowing their full story or the truth. I can't wait until the next episode.

But neither of the "he's" is privileged. The school may protect their basketball player, though, to protect themselves.

The writing and acting is soo good. I could just feel the pain of each of those parents

You're right. But considering that the ball player's parents are working to pay his tuition at a private school I think he will be protected via the privilege that comes with attendance and association.
