NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

msghall Seemingly filmed on the fly, too many scenes have an incomplete feeling because more takes were needed to flesh out the performances. Damon Gupton is the worst offender, his lines are delivered as if he's reading them. This is an important point because the series relies on the interactions between characters but you never have the chance to care about them because it's so hard to relate to one-dimensional acting. It's not the actors' fault. There doesn't seem to have been enough time or budget to stretch out the the story and develop relationships between the characters. Too bad because the series is based on an intriguing plot that deserves to be handled with more aplomb. If you don't mind not caring about the characters, you may enjoy this series just to see how it all unfolds.

micke-bystrom I've seen the first two episodes and feel like giving up.I don't mind the story being somewhat slow to develop, but I feel like there are too few captivating details to bring the viewer into the story. I get no feel for the characters or their destinies. A possibly innocent man, Chris Bauer (Bankowski), is maybe about to die and despite Chris doing a good job with this character I don't really care. Despite a fine line-up with some actors from The Wire they come off as saying their lines more than acting their parts. These are fine actors, so nothing is outright bad. just unconvincing. Tony Goldwyn, who directed these first two episodes, really did not bring out the very best from the actors nor the story. Maybe it's just below "good enough", but it's simply not at good enough.Marin Ireland (as Christine), Damon Gupton (Adam), Paul Schneider (Clark) and Joe Anderson (Kucik) all fail to make me care about what they say, what they do and what they face. I'm bored by a storyline that might develop into something interesting. I don't think I'll stick around to find out.It's possible that if all the actors being from The Wire (which is a 10) hadn't made me think of it or if I hadn't seen four seasons of The Killing (another 10) I could have had some more patience.

jtbonetta I just finished watching the divide... what a shame this show was cancelled..I loved every part of this show... the actors, the plot, family dynamics, the struggles, the behind the scene deals..., the relationships,the setting... a great shame to cancel a terrifically well written show... at first I thought it was British... didn't look like the typical Hollywood gloss... and happily surprised to see it was American (I am a huge BBC fan)... I have never posted but thought, if ever one of these terrific actors, producers etc of the show read this, and wonder, why the heck was this show cancelled... I have no clue! If you are interested in; character development, the law, strong female leads, great writing... then this show is for you...

fastred3 I just finished watching the entire series on Amazon. It was a well- above average crime drama. The acting was very good with one exception. The actor who portrayed the prosecutor, Damon Gupton, was not up to par in my opinion. He had good lines, but didn't always deliver them convincingly. However, the rest of the cast made up for this deficiency and he seemed to become more proficient as the series progressed. There were plenty of twists and lots of suspense, to keep me interested. It was violent, but not over-the-top. The plot centered around an organization that was like the real-life Innocence Project, taking on cases of questionable convictions. It explored the push and pull that goes on between these kind of advocates for the wrongfully(?) convicted and the criminal justice system.My biggest complaint about the series was the fact that there were too many loose ends left in the finale. It was terribly disappointing to find out that there will not be a second season because I have plenty of questions about the ultimate fate of several characters. Several users here accused the series of being too politicized.... pretty ironic, considering their reviews were chock full of their own political commentary.
