Why this series still plays
Ava DuVernay's four-act indictment of the Central Park Five case refuses rubbernecking: interrogation rooms, prison years, and families left holding the state's wreckage. Jharrel Jerome's Korey Wise is the ache you do not shake. Justice drama that still feels unfinished because the country is.
