Detroit

— I was a little embarrassed to be so completely taken in by “Detroit.” It’s hard not to think of it as factual when it’s really only based on fact and, probably, skewed to parallel current-day news stories and popular feelings about the police. I thought it was very good as long as viewers remember it is “fiction” even though it depicts something from the past, so the views may not reflect current day views, only remind us from where we come and what we had and have to overcome.
