Great show! I really liked to see the life of an American black revolutionary! Power to the people!
Supposed to be a thriller but there's nothing thrilling about this show.
Completely lost interest about the middle of episode 2 but kept watching it. Gave up completely at the end of episode 3.
[tv+] Sometimes focusing on an anecdote prevents from really delving into the interesting aspects of a story. If the intervention of a Hollywood producer in the escape of a leader of the Black Panthers to Cuba is striking, it never acquires a dimension in the series that makes it especially transcendent, as happened in **Argo** (Ben Affleck, 2019), for example. There are many reflections, many split screens and too many jumps in time with which actor Don Cheadle doesn't particularly shine as a director when constructing a confusing and disjointed narrative. More focused on the last episodes, directed by Tiffany Johnson, the landing after a journey full of turbulence fails to straighten out the story.
