it was pretty cut and dry to me

@AP21

What happened to the flashback Naz was supposed to have of him killing the girl?

nigga, dont do that lol

i told you that was my "throw it against the wall and hope it sticks" prediction

i was afraid they were gonna wait until the final episode to do the old bait and switch and introduce someone that we never pegged as a suspect. To me, thats kinda lazy writing, but still....

I was satisfied with the ending.

 
I knew that accountant was fishy. I watch waaaay too many of these mystery type shows.

Damn. Even tho Nas got off. That finale was depressing as fuck. System turned Nas into an animal.

That's how the system be doing cats, especially minorities. Jail/prison is supposed to rehabilitate. But it usually makes things worse. They also put an alleged killer in there with actual cold blooded killers lol.

You also peep how they failed to do an actual investigation outside of nas? It's all about money, and politics. Very little to do with what actually happened. That's why we have shit like the o.j. simpson trial or lol. So much tax money is wasted on this bull shit.

And don't think the lawyer grew a heart at the end. She only went after the killer to redeem her status and make up for her L, smh.

 
I'm inclined to think that Freddie is ultimately responsible for Naz' freedom.

That recording he gave to Stone of Chandra kissing him led to Stone doing the closing arguments.

Granted, Chandra did a good job up until the point that she put Naz on the stand..........but without Stone's closing that jury probably wouldn't have been deadlocked.

And Stone wouldn't have done the closing if the judge hadn't demoted Chandra to 2nd chair after seeing that video.

Somewhat of a happy ending, but.........in real life...........Naz would've probably been found guilty.
 
Was slightly a bit anticlimactic...

Stone just turned and looked like..."You're free..."

And i wish we coulda found out what actually happened even though we have an idea.

And I was waiting for the show to take a turn like nas does something to go back to prison or finally remembers killing her or something but nothing ever came.

Then I thought nas wss gonna die from that last hit or something

 
@ Beta I think the point was to be more realistic...Stone's closing argument was on point but Naz fucked up big time during cross exam

Oh no I get it I was just waiting for a big twist or curveball. Or the jury finds Nas not guilty and his parents cheer while Nas sheds tears. Jury was like "we don't know...Then the woman I forget her name said fuck it pretty much and john stone was like "alright you're going home"

Still enjoyed it I just didn't expect it to be that straightforward I guess
 
It was becoming more and more annoying how stupid Naz was. I almost didn't want to watch the finale bc of the possibility of him doing something really stupid

Naz gets on the stand and is a muslim at that and is asked if he killed slim and says I don't know. You have the murder weapon in his pocket and the prosecutor caught him in 2 lies about taking the drugs and taking the knife. And he gets a hung jury...i don't find that believable

shit at the end with the cat was corny af
 
This shit was never about the murder, it was about the people, places, and things that singular act affected and how with the Criminal Justice System acts as the fulcrum.

The ending was dope:

-Stone gonna Stone

-Naz's life is fucked up

-The prosecutor is going after the real killer with Boz

-Chandra learned she's not built for that job.

-Freddie gonna Freddie

The people who went into this experience indifferent or jaded began to redeem themselves: Stone, Female prosecutor, Boz, and Freddie.

The people who came in "seemingly pure" left fucked up: Nas and Chandra.

Tv doesn't get better than this!

this

to me, what should be highlighted is the fact that Box was so quick to pin it on Naz and when his lawyer asked why no one else was interviewed despite a number of other persons of interest.

How quick/often in our judicial system does this EXACT thing happen, when someone is accused, no other people of interests are interviewed, and the wrong person gets convicted

i said it before, i dont like how all of a sudden, the financial adviser became the "ah haaaaa" reveal in the last episode, but i get it
 
SMH at box keeping his mouth shut because of how the system is. He wanted to say something soooo bad but his boss was like......"NOPE" just retire and move one. The mortician got the same treatment.

@Beta

Only issue I had with the ending was I wanted to see the backlash after they caught the real killer. I also wanted to know how he did it as well. Just to bring a lil more closure. But this show was ultimately about the flawed side of the system. So it's not that big of a deal. Just could have made the ending that much more epic though.

You get it!!!!!! LOL I swear some people just refuse to use more than a little of their brain power. This series is some deep ass shit. I saw on t.v the other day how some people involved in law were mad at how this show portrayed the system. LOL they mad that they showed the ugly side of the law. This show is not for simple minded folks lol. This was more like a documentary than a show.

This is exactly why some cats don't get the purge movies. They are looking for a crazy horror movie and not what it's actually focused on.

 
I just finished episode 4. This show is EXCELLENT. As much as I like it tho I can only watch 1 ep a day...I can't binge watch this cuz prison and the justice system are so shitty it'll depress me if I watch a lot of it lol.

No its not. The US prison has been moved away from being about rehabilitation and been strictly about punishment for decades now. Talking since the 70's
