I managed to watch the pilot and exactly half of episode two. At that point I looked at my wife and said, "I've had enough of this." She agreed and we switched to something else.
The police shoot an obviously unarmed man while he is running away. He never attacked them in any way, he just ran and was shot for it. This is a political statement by the writers. I got the message, the writers think the police shoot too many people. I don't hold that view, most cops never fire their weapon in the line of duty.
A juvenile boy is charged with murder for renting a car to a man. This man later gave a second man a ride. The second man then committed a murder. The boy never saw the second man. The boy had no knowledge of why the man needed the car. I think the purpose is to show how unfair the American justice system can be. But the writers do so by depicting a situation that would never happen. He would have to be in the car and have knowledge of the crime to be charged. Renting out a car is not a crime.
There is an unfolding story of the victim being a criminal in his own right. He is a war veteran, and thus must be portrayed as having psychological problems. It is the same old Hollywood tale of the soldier who comes back from an unpopular war and takes up a life of crime. I predict that the victim will be made to look as guilty as his killer in the end.
