The politics are fascinating and the cast is stellar. There's quite a bit of filler, but when it's political, the series is at its strongest
Interesting story of local politics with solid performances. Borderline worth watching.
Great acting and about modern history. Very worthwhile watch.
Very complex, as we are used from David Simon, this explores the politics of real estate and how it affects communities. Brainy, interesting
The story is somewhat interesting but Oscar Isaac gives a wonderful performance
i will watch for a second round for sure, oscar shines and finale was brilliant.
3 1/2 stars: true story of 28 year old urban mayor fighting racism & the system. Produced by The Wire team. Oscar Isaac shines as do others
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
A little hardly enjoyable.
Very sad
