I love American crime. The story lines are real and portrayed immaculately. Unfortunately cable company”s dictate what you can watch with packages and separate companies making you pay more money.
This is an important show. It tackles a complex subject with nuanced writing and superb acting. It’s a show for thoughtful adults. I’m surprised it is on broadcast TV instead of one of the prestige cable stations. Bravo to ABC for running it, and kudos to John Ridley for conceiving it; I’m lookoIng forward to a third season.
Can’t believe this is a network drama. Plays like HBO or SHOWTIME. Great writing, directing and acting. In our top three shows. Please renew.
One of the best dramas currently on Network TV. After watching this season I was actually a bit shocked that ABC was producing this, but grateful that they are. It’s sad that the rating here are so low – but it just goes to show the mentality of middle America. A great show – Kudos to ABC, cast, and crew.
Undisputedly, the best program on network television if you value intelligence, great acting and a rich story line. Not for those with short or non-existent attention spans. I’m not a devout TV junkie so it takes something rather spectacular to get me to even watch. The last program of this caliber that I had an aid interest in was ‘Southland’ (alas cancelled). I truly hope the studio heads will green light a 3rd season of ‘American Crime’.
Great show and cast. Each season keeps getting better and better.
Great show and cast. Each season gets better and better.
hate it, poorly written, plodding pacing, should have been a 3 hr movies, not dragged out. Ridley should stick to film. Yank and retool the second half of season. Then bring back Blood and OiL and Nashville!
Excellent subject! Well written and excellent acting.
This program was awful last year & you still renewed it? ABC you’re as stupid w/your programming as you ever were.
yeah… the huge amount of accolades, mega amount of praise… they shove have interviewed you for your obvious high ranking critic status.
