This documentary is sometimes very painful to watch, it shook me like not many documentaries have.
It is about tremendous injustice and also tremendous courage. It is about family and sadness, about fighting and seeking justice, about racism in our society, about judges and CO and what happens in prison, about solitary confinement and second chances.
But most of all, it is about one young man, whose incredible strength could and will hopefully unable a change in the American justice system.
It's a must-watch.
Flawed System in NYC or Nation Wide?
This docuserie shows splendidly how flawed the juridicial system is in a city known for its financial institutions, its skyscrapers and the many tv series happening in NYC.
As a none US citizen, I was shocked after I saw this documentary as I had a totally different picture of NYC. How can New Yorkers accept this happening as basic human rights are being violated? It has more something from a 3rd world country than from a developed country. Just shocking.
Thank God there are still some good people in the world who fight for those unprivileged and the poor.

OMG Why?
After watching When They See Us I felt compelled to watch this. It made me so angry and upset. I wanted to jump in the TV and save him. It's disgusting how he was treated. I'm not going to put any spoilers on as its not fair on those who haven't seen it yet. Just know this, I could say an awful lot more
Important story - spoiled by over-telling
Let me preface this by saying I'm somewhat of a junkie for stories like this. I enjoy empathising with people who've suffered, and the reality check that it gives me that there's so much to be grateful for.
This was a terrible ordeal and another in a long line of quite astonishing relics of this kind during this racially divided era.
However, I score it a 5 because of the appalling decision to drag this out like they did. As others have posted, this could probably have been a 2-part series; 3 at the most (it's 6 episodes in reality). Very tedious.

A true hero
I just finished watching this documentary and I am in tears. This is a must see. It's heartbreaking to see how our justice system failed Kalief. This is still happening to thousands of black men but no one hears about it because most just plead guilty to crimes they did not commit. Kalief did not give up, he fought the justice system head on. I am heartbroken with how this documentary ends but I will not spoil it for you. Please watch this, hopefully it opens at least one person's eyes to the injustice of our system.
