American Crime - Why You Should Watch: Network TV has a stigma attached it about never trying new things. So many viewers have retreated to cable or streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime because they are producing daring & original content. These platforms have been breaking the mold well Network TV plays catch up.
Last year @abcnetwork stepped up in a big way when they premiered American Crime. The show dealt with race & class issues in an unflinching manner that was unapologetic. From the start, there was nothing mainstream about its intentions. It was very clear that ABC was letting creativity shine over what would produce great ratings.
The show wasn't a huge ratings hit in season one but ABC knew it had a prestige show worth keeping around so it was renewed for season 2. Adding to this, the show received wide critical acclaim & much awards love as a cherry on top for how good it is.
Season 2 premiered on Jan. 6 & it features a new crime & new story. This season, currently 4 episodes in, has improved upon its already magnificent first season. The story is thought provoking, the writing is stirring and sincere and the acting is powerful from top to bottom. There are no weak links here.
This season's story (depicting the alleged male on male rape of a high school student) has been described by some as hard to watch but implore you to give this show a shot. ABC is giving audiences something dating on Network TV when so much of it can be so formulaic. I'm not saying there is no place for fluff TV, hell I even enjoy some it, but there is room for both. There is nothing wrong with a show that makes you think while it consistently entertains you.
Go all in on @americancrimeabc which airs Wednesday's at 10/9c on @abcnetwork.
