Those who lived through the period all heard of The Central Park Jogger. But not everyone knows about the miscarriage of justice that happened after. This series is breathtakingly tragic and and shocking to watch. A terrible chapter of history about crime and race. New York was a terribly frightening place in the late 80s. Fear ruled. The way the young boys were treated by the law enforcement is so unspeakable. The young actors are excellent and natural. Kudos to Vera Farmiga and Felicity Huffman for playing such wicked people and especially to Vera for putting on an ugly wig. The adjustment to life after prison is quite eye opening. The final episode about Korey is like Papillon with the medieval conditions he suffered.
Unforgettable. Required viewing!
