A timely mystery drama thriller, Shots Fired is a 10-hour limited series which explores the tense aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small North Carolina town. When African-American Deputy Joshua Beck (Wilds) shoots and kills an unarmed white college student, it unsettles his small burg.

As tensions flare, the Department of Justice launches an official inquiry and dispatches experienced investigator Ashe Akino (Lathan) and young Special Prosecutor Preston Terry (James) to investigate.

Telly’s Take
Although FOX has billed it as both an “event series,” and a “10-hour film,” if Shots Fired scores in the Nielsen ratings, smart money says they will find a way to bring it back, perhaps as an anthology drama like ABC‘s American Crime, or American Crime Story on FX. After all, the networks never worry about my nutritional needs. I will keep an eye on the ratings but, at this point, I don’t forsee a second season.

Coming from a mixed family as well with cops and Attorneys in my family this was such a realistic interpretation, which we need more of.

How can you cancel a show that was so intuned to the problems of our neighborhoods today. This show was trying to express a point that, I think, reflects on some major problems we have. I am an over a 65 year young “white” person and I have never seen a show so freaking honest on the reflection of our young and innocent children (people) who are being shot down on a daily basis.

I really liked this show! I think it is very realistic and shows racism as it often really is. We are left with at least some hope that things can get better. I would like to see more of this type of programming.
