I thought the first two eps, which deeply detail the racism, corruption and abuse of the system that condemned these boys to hell, were absolutely incredible, as incredible as something so haunting and difficult to watch can be (perhaps powerful is a better word, but I want to give credit to how well-made the mini-series is). The last two eps were a step below for me, perhaps because I have seen more than enough stories about the struggle of life after prison, and the struggle of survival in prison, and the only layer this series adds is that these young men went through that while fully innocent. Which makes the way prison and society treats them certainly a lot sadder, but not so much that I felt any sadder than I feel for anyone who will find it impossible to regain a semblance of a normal life after prison.
Notwithstanding that, the directing and acting is incredible and I feel Ava DuVernay showed massive improvement here in her handling of the material, something I felt was lacking in Selma. In some parts she could've been a bit more subtle and less on the nose (it's fukk Trump all day but goddamn if she doesn't overpush that angle long after the point has been made) and I also think it could've been a little bit shorter (or tightened up) since a lot of the events, regardless of how accurate they might be depicted, become repetitive, but those would be complaints to complain about something.
