Just finished this, and damn!

Such an excellent show all round. Awards for everyone!

Stellar acting from an amazing cast. Some of the strongest young actors I've seen.

This is a gut-wrenching watch. Some parts are actually quite hard to sit through.

Based on the true story of the Central Park Five.

A highly recommend from me.

I agree, I finished watching this two days ago.  That fourth episode was epic.  Also the interviews with Oprah was excellent.  You can also watch the police interrogation of Korey on YouTube, about 23mins.  That actor nailed his mannerisms.

100% recommended!

Started watching this last night based on the recommendations - and damn, it is hard to watch at times - I didn't watch much as it was late, but I think this is really gonna take me on an emotional roller coaster.

Watched the documentary film, The Central Park Five by Ken Burns last night. Must see for anyone who's new to this.

Agreed that the actor playing Korey Wise absolutely nailed it. I really hope he is recognised for such a strong performance.
