Technically strong, potently acted drama sparked by police violence. Shaded moral arguments, but sees the truth.

The urgent themes and exceptional cast, from central roles to single-sceners, make this an important date. US viewers, be there on Sept 28.
VOR:④
More convincing than Blindspotting as a dramatic extrapolation of police violence and its many ripple effects. What could be more timely?
