Oakland P.D. Detective Rebecca “Rebel” Knight (Truitt) is wired to play by the rules. In a failed attempt to keep him from gunning down her little brother, Malik (Walker), Rebel ends up shooting her partner, Michael “Mack” McIntyre (Quinn).

Telly’s Take

Executive producer John Singleton is primarily known for his work in feature films. Will he also find success on the small screen? Will his new Rebel TV show be cancelled or renewed for a second season on BET? The ratings are mediocre when compared to Being Mary Jane. However, I suspect BET will give Rebel some leeway as they want to establish scripted shows for the channel. I’m watching.
