An interesting look at Colin's teenage years at high school and his struggle with racism whilst pursuing his dream of becoming a quarter back. I can see some of the themes bought up here have offended people but I personally didn't feel offended.
What a beautiful coming of age story about a biracial boy raised in the suburbs by a white couple and all the rites of passages he goes through attempting to reach his potential.
Kaepernick's future and polarizing position in life is so clear from the childhood he had. It's history repeating itself, for not just him but any nonwhite child growing up in a predominantly white community or schooling.
The difference is the highs he achieved, that allowed this story to be financed. I really enjoyed it. The performances were good and the moments were touching. I was actually left wanting more.
If you're not interested in conversations about race or seeing black people navigate America, this might be the wrong entertainment for you.

It's really good. I came in with average expectations but Ava does it again. Introspective and insightful. Definitely worth a watch. And ignore the one star reviews. They're just trolls who are still hurt by his peaceful kneeling.
I'm wondering why this series was rated so low, I can only surmise it has been rated by individuals who may take offence to the subject matter.
This is an eye opener of a show
The biographical nature makes it even more endearing to view. Acting is superb and if you're not easily offended by a lot racial references then this is for you.

In some ways, Colin had a privileged childhood with white parents. But in other ways, his loving but sometimes unwoke parents seemed occasionally (understandably) a bit clueless about racism, dark skin bias, racist micro-regressions, etc.
As an Asian American, I consider Colin a Hero in the BLM movement. Bringing much needed attention to the horrific, systemic, racist 'structured violence' that too many African Americans have had to suffer for Hundreds of years.
His action cost him his beloved career. A sacrifice that, sadly, even former, Progressive, supreme court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, did not appreciate.
Anyway, it was great to see Colin's story so far.
Looking forward to All future seasons of Colin Kaepernick's journey.
Will definitely recommend this to everyone on the internet !
