Anyone see American Crime, "The Wire like show" from 12 Years A Slave writer

[Profane]

Premiered last night on ABC, anyone catch it..thoughts?

 

[CinnaSlim]

I missed it but it looks good. Almost like Crash. How was it?

Don't ever want to see it based off the strength of that annoying fakkit crying at the end of the commercial that's always on TV

The show looks like a piece of shyt. It looks nothing like The Wire, and could never even be remotely close, being that it's on network TV, ABC at that.

Plus it has fakkit ass Aceveda in it

And fukk 12 Years a Slave

I debating giving you a neg for promoting this show. Especially in the wrong forum


How is it like "The Wire"?

Some musty looking people on that show. Felicity Huffman () that Mexican breh with the pock marks ()

:whatthehell?: at that promo?

Like the writing from 12 years a slave was so fukken top notch.

I boycott any programming on ABC.


I am going to guess what happened based on that preview. A white girl killed someone (white person probably) and the crime was blamed on black and mexican men.

I read an article that said the writing was as good as The Wire and that the show should be on HBO.

damn I take it nobody saw this then.. another prime time tv flop?

the people who worked in or wrote 12 years of slave are self haters and work directly for white supremacist . Their very anti black so no thanks to whatever new projects been produced from one of the writers

I watched it and never thought about that as a possibility. Show is watchable I think that show Secrets and Lies will be better though.

im getting c00n vibes but i'll watch the pilot

 

[cylde21]

probably going to be another degrading imagery of blacks that self stereotypical and lowly . also one dimensional that's the mind thought of the writer so thinking this tv show would be good because it has a black cast would be a mistake to think

 

[YaBoy]

Watched it last night. Seems like a race baiting show. Like it was specifically designed to cause racial outrage. If American Crime was a thread on the coli, the mods would delete it

1st ep was interesting.

I'lll wait till the season is over and binge the rest.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

It's nothing like The Wire and doesn't even look likes it's gunna be good from the first episode.
