I binged watched this over 2 days and was simply in awe of the visuals, characters and insane world shown in this documentary series. It's hard to believe the most prosperous city in the US has turned into this! The film makers had incredible access that shows us what's really going on behind the scenes for these brave officers and they tell the story in a very fair way. Everyone needs to watch this.
Superb documentary reflecting not only the human element of the police officers in Flint but the community they serve.
From some one who lives in England where officers are unarmed and police through concent it was fascinating to see extremely brace law enforcement through austerity.
Great soundtrack and cinematography gives this documentary a real edge.
Big respect to the Flint PD bravest!

Rated from a documentary standpoint:
Plot: 10/10 Production: 9.5/10 Storyline: 10/10 Characters: 9/10 Setting: 10/10 Realism: 7.5/10
This is by far the best production I have ever seen. Hands down.
Unbiased, professional, and extremely appealing from a production standpoint (speaking of which, where do they find these people?). It does not immediately investigate the "water crisis" like one would likely expect. Instead, it communicates the real problem at hand, the hostility between a community and its cities officials.
This series does not stop there. It constantly holds your attention, refusing to be anything like similar series' where the same content is repeated episode after episode. The second a certain topic in "Flint Town" begins to sour a completely new position is introduced and examined - exactly how the media should be. This isn't about taking sides. This is about hearing every single voice in the community and determining what the best solution is to improve the level of comfort and safety felt in the community.
In satisfying this mission they complete another objective without any intention, leading viewers to the realization that maybe the government isn't 'really' out to get them - maybe it's really their fellow citizens.
Overall I must give this series a solid 10/10. Phenomenal from nearly all perspectives.

Raw, real, touching and addicting! This will stick with you long after you finish it.

Awesome series! A real eye opener on what is happening STILL in Flint. Everyone across the nation, in fact most likely everyone across North America knows about the disgusting, lethal water in Flint. This series takes you to actual day to day life struggles in Flint thru the eyes of some men and women in blue. The real people trying to keep the community together with only 1/3 the manpower. Amazing people make up the police force and any city would be thankful to have them watching over their neighborhoods. It is such a shame to see how they each give so much of themselves to only get knocked back down again and again by the corrupt city council! Absolutely disgusting!! It really is a must see for everyone.
