TV show description:
A 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 (Mack Wilds) shoots and kills an unarmed white college student, it unsettles his small town. Before the community comes to terms with the disturbing incident, the media shines a spotlight on the overlooked murder of an African-American teenager.
As tensions rise, the Department of Justice launches an official inquiry and assigns experienced investigator Ashe Akino (Sanaa Lathan) and young Special Prosecutor Preston Terry (Stephan James) to the case. While investigating, they find indications that there may have been a cover-up, involving prominent people.
Governor Patricia Eamons (Helen Hunt) is in a tough race for re-election, and the shootings are only exacerbating her campaign’s struggles.
Meanwhile, privatized prison owner Arlen Cox (Richard Dreyfuss) is a successful real estate mogul who is drawn into the heated debate of local policing. Seasoned Sheriff’s Department veteran Lt. Calvert Breeland (Stephen Moyer) is also entangled in the investigation.
Ashe and Preston must navigate the media scrutiny, as well as the public debate, and deal with the community discord which arises from such volatile cases.
Series Finale:
Episode #10 — Hour 10: Last Dance
The hearings for both cases are held and, as Preston presents the facts to the jurors, the truth behind each shooting is revealed. Meanwhile, Pastor Janae and other petitioners gather outside the courtroom in anticipation of the results, hoping for a better future. After the Sheriff’s Department loses one of its own, it becomes clear who is really to blame.

What do you think? Do you like the Shots Fired TV show? Do you think it should have been renewed for a second season?
I loved “Shots Fired”. Was so looking forward to second season!!
Awesome show. Was looking forward to season 2. What happened.
Great show. This show needs to me picked up for a second season.
This show was amazing. It needs to be renewed. The marketing could have been better which is why the viewership was so
Low.
Oh it most definitely should have received a 2nd. season…The only thing is, how real were the low ratings, were they really good and the powers that be trimmed them down…because you know how those Tv. Execs. are, anything that hits too close to reality is most likely going to get the axe….they can use low ratings as the reason
LISTEN THIS SHOW IS GREAT ALL THE ACTORS, ACTRESS, THE ENTIRE CAST ITS A SHOW THAT MAKE YOU THINK BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!
Bring It BACK!!
the story is great, actors are terrific!
Yes I found this on hulu and I am hooked and what an amazing cast. Bring it back.
yes i love this show please bring it back
YES!!!!! YES!!!!! YES!!!!! This show NEEDS to continue. Ratings & sponsors aside, this show not only needs to continue but needs to stay on a “free” network channel such as Fox. The average American, specifically White people, need to realize how racist they are and/or the racist tendencies they have and don’t realize it. This brings their sentiments to the spotlight. You can call it “Hollywood-ised” but most of this story IS happening right before our eyes in everyday life now. It’s been happening in black communities for years, but with the start of Ferguson, the average White person is… Read more »
I loved this show and I truely think it should continue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! Definitely a show that my husband and I watched together!!!!!!!
YES,
BRING BACK
shots fired very good!!!
I loved this show ! They should renew it ,I believe a lot of people at least the city I live in can relate to a lot of the stuff that happens in this show.It sheds light on things that are happening this world that a lot of people don’t want to believe are true.
I hated the show, it was a continued brainwashing with the BLM narrative that cops are predominantly dirty. The narrative needs to end or we will further be divided by the lies
YOU are the only one “brainwashed.” I am a Black man and I believe that all cops are NOT dirty. There are MANY good cops out there but they get overshadowed by the bad cops who are old fashioned, ignorant, and refuse to realize we live in the 21st century. What that translates to…the non-white no longer needs to stay silent and WILL fight back no matter what, unlike the slavery days. Police abuse has been happening for decades and with the start of the Ferguson incident, Police’s abuse of authority is now in the spotlight for the world to… Read more »
