Omg. I haven't been moved by a dramatic performance like this in ages. My heart broke and my body cringed watching the agony, the incredible amount of suffering, and the tragic effects this had on all 5 of the boys, especially in this last episode. I just felt so sick that injustice was so easy to spin. The performance by Jharrel Jerome was the one that did me in. Had me crying so hard that I couldn't breathe. Used an entire box of tissues just in the first half of episode four. Be prepared to experience profound sadness for these boys, now men. They were robbed of their innocence and they can never get that back. Much respect for the real men who this story is based on. They kept going, when it could have been so easy to give up. Also, much respect to ALL of the actors, men and boys alike. I was moved, I was angry, I felt broken hearted, and just plain broken from their true-to-life performances. This series in INTENSE. It is also something everyone should see. Our system is broken. When we know what happened and how it happened, then we can speak up and make changes. YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY SEE YOU NOW.
