9/10
An underrated series to say the least

I am not to get long winded here but i will get right to the point in saying this is hands down one of the boldest productions made in a long time.It's message script delivery and plot development are so astoundingly well executed (no pun intended) that I give it a whole whopping niner.Yes nine. I wasn't sure at the gate but once this series got running I was addicted to the amazing performances delivered by some of the finest actors and actresses in the business.Welcome back I say to old favorites such as Timothy Hutton and Felicity Huffman. Great supporting form Benito Martinez as well.But there are also fresh new actors such as Richard Cabral,Elvis Nolasco and Caitlin Gerard all delivering top notch rolls worthy of special mention here.All in all a series touching on a vast array of tough social issues at a bruising pace.It's so realistic yet existential at the very same time.Don't miss it.I rate it higher than most.For some reason it has touched a nerve.I find the message here perhaps lies not in how the unique model of American racial diversity is infected or doomed to self-destruct but by how that very same diversity is re-routed towards or unified by the same challenges and confrontations brought about by drug and weapons abuse and by a penal system targeted at young black men.See it and come to your own conclusions.But see it!
