If this isn't a 10 out of 10, then I'm not sure what could be.

The authenticity is undeniable. The characters feel real, their stories feel real.

You see glimpses of these characters in yourself, your family, your surroundings-at work, the grocery store, everywhere.

This is what television should be.

It's a journey of discovery into the lives of real people struggling around us, people whose hardships we may not see or understand.

This show opened my eyes to so many life experiences I hadn't encountered or understood.

The direction is beautifully refined, introducing these lives to us in a gentle, seamless way.

Each episode left me thinking: this is real, and it's why people respond the way they do.

The movie is trying to create a magical atmosphere, but it is very fabricated to the level that it is annoying.

It is fabricated because there is not even a story to build on, and the events and characters don't have any sense and there is no logic for either the actions or reactions.

My kids 11 and 8 didn't like it.

Many times I was wondering why those characters acting like this and why there is a drama and so much emotions and struggle that adults have , and didn't make any sense of Raynold reactions.

The adult stories from the dancer to the guy who is having a presentation is just overkill and cheap injection and fabrication of "magical feelings" The end was the best part and was not bad and it is the only part that did have a logical connection together.

I agree with one comment before me that it is ludicrous idea, and at the same time it is an interesting movie to watch.

And I like that comment of choosing the word "ludicrous".

Although the main idea will never happen, and to challenge a religion and faith by law is ridiculous, but somehow I (myself) liked to watched how it goes and how it ended up.

I watched this movie till the end even I thought it is ludicrous idea from the start.

The thing I didn't like is using the violence, because it doesn't fit with the idea of Law Vs. Religion.

But they want somehow to add some thrills.

The acting was surprisingly good for low budget movie like this.

Overall it is a good movie. The story is beautiful, the directing is good and managed to keep us excited and alerted. But man oh man. Thomas Jane should not be an actor. His facial impression is very confusing, and seems don't know how to use his face as an actor.

Watched season 1, and don't want to continue to other seasons. This is a stupid show with not-realistic characters, and the show is trying to look smart. The show tries to make a depth for its characters, but that depth is non-sense for. most of the characters. The directors couldn't and don't know how to make something interesting out of this materials. I cannot judge actors, because they really have stupid materials to work on, and I cannot expect something better from them. I really like to see what actors said about this, and how they dealt with non-sense story line for their characters. the whole idea of season 1, (a white guy killed by non-white, and how society is biased about it) has no real dimensions, and cannot be extended to other territories. Beside building the characters during the time line does not make any little sense. Beside the author and the stupid director don't know anything about Islam, and they have and they showed their own imagination to how muslim pray, and we end up with show that has nothing to do with reality (like other stuff).

What the point of this story? Seriously. A strange story that has no meaning, and the movie atmosphere and scenario and dialogue and characters all have no meaning and nothing is related to anything.
