Blindspotting

A five star rating may seem low, but seems fitting compared to some of the Starz' greats. The plot and setting of this series are a nice change to the norm of new tv series. I enjoyed the acting and storyline while the characters are actually... in character/dialogue. While I can appreciate a poetic and cultural dance theme, it definitely seems forced and out of place for this particular series. Stick to the main plot, add some more drama and conflict, and this show may have more promise.

Not bad. Refreshing for Starz. Love watching things with POC but I hate when it's street thuggish ghetto stuff. We need more shows with upscale people of color and less shows of this. I get it tho. There is a great portion of us that live this life, but so do many whites. Great show though.

2021 - Everything about this show is amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and this show lives up to, if not exceeds that, by a million. Excellent pilot. Emmy award-winning actress Jasmine Cephas Jones and this entire cast are so perfectly chosen. The minds of Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs are seriously put into play with this show, creating such a unique piece of art that we dont get to see often in Hollywood. With just the right amount of comedy and drama, verse and choreography, and hella town refrence, I can tell this series is gonna be good. Bringing the Bay to our screens in the best way possible.

EDIT - 2023: Just watched the first two episodes of the second season. BLINDSPOTTING traverses the realm of television once again. From the movement artistry to the powerful verse and dialogue, this show is truly a love letter to Oakland and continues to outdo itself by being a work so unique and never seen before.

From the creative storytelling to the spoken word solos and fantastic dance scenes, this show has it all! I stumbled on this show with no warning on plot line. Two episodes in I was hooked! I don't usually write reviews so this is short, but I honestly admire this show and the layers of art presented each episode.

The characters are real life and relatable. The stress of jail and what it does to families. The culture of multiple races all intersecting. Multigenerational families. Add to it a very well written script and some serious actors. This all blends with dream sequences and some of the most beautiful dance on film. Give it a try.

This show did everything they said they were gonna do and more! Its new, fresh, creative, bold! Every Sunday I can't wait to see what we have in store! This is truly something different that I don't know if I would've enjoyed but everyone is talented and the writers are amazing! They have made something so fun and different that leaves you wanting more, and I do want more! Great show, props to everyone who was apart of it!
