Reviews

mrsdm Rebel is a good/ no great show. Its edgy, sexy, it relates to real life topics that are going on in the world today. The beginning does jump around a bit which is a great addition to this show because it gives you insight into the character. It gives depth into the story. Giving you time to embrace the who what and why of Rebel Knight's personality! Now on the specifics of the show. We have to look at different writers so the writers on the episodes that received the most ratings.. maybe that could be a direction to go in. The cast is great! The leading actress is a phenomenal talent that I hope to see more of. John Singleton is Great so I see nothing but great things for this show!! Its only the beginning lets see what REBEL has in store for season 2 I can already see where its headed by how season 1 ended. Which will have us hanging on to the edge of our seats. REBEL IM HERE FOR YOU!!!! 👍

jonnithomas It is a contentious subject. However, it should be faced. Fact some US police do kill black Americans.So take one really serious subject and try to capitalise on it. Partly it was a story which had prospects. Add some unnecessary gratuitous sex. Add a heroin whose hair changes every time you see her. add some serious dialogue and a hodge podge of rubbish.What do you end up with ? A badly directed piece of bubblegum. The subject deserves far more than this. The storyline after the original premise is so weak it is laughable.So writers and directors you should be ashamed of yourselves. Serious subject made into trash. it deserves far more as a subject.So you get racially prejudiced people making it a mockery. You get black people trying to support it.Would I try to watch it ? Perhaps if there was nothing else on. Would I make a point of watching it..... hell no.

b4blue The description of the show is completely false. It says that main character "has always excelled by playing by the rules" and yet the show starts with her blatant brutality and misconduct (yes, I know it is forced on the viewer to accept this as something good, because the guy is a rapist, never mind that this makes her Judge Dread). So she is actually a dirty cop and judging by the comments of her coworkers, a racist dirty cop. How does that make any sense in the direction the writers wanted show to go? And then there is the shooting scene, where all the men in uniforms are portrayed as zombies that want to shoot a black person, even though the scene drags long enough and the suspense and the threat of danger completely dissolves in its own time, without any major problems. They are completely oblivious of the reality and just stay in the zombie mode, trying to kill, kill, kill,...like dogs seeing a squirrel.

LiquidPoetry1921 I must admit that I was excited when I found out director John Singleton (Boyz in the Hood) was the creator of BET's new show 'Rebel' ~ and was also its director! Starring Danielle Mone Truitt as the title character: Oakland cop Rebecca 'Rebel' Knight, a black officer who finds herself in a profession plagued with police brutality and misconduct. In the harrowing pilot episode, Rebel's brother Malik (Mikelen Walker) is shot and killed by her partner (and former lover) Thompson 'Mack' McIntyre (Brandon Quinn), and is blamed for his death by her father Rene Knight (Mykelti Williamson). Adding to this stellar cast of actors is Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) who plays Rebel's lieutenant, friend and mentor. The conclusion of the first episode leaves us with the disillusioned Rebel becoming a private investigator.Described as 'hard-hitting, gritty, complicated and morally ambiguous', 'Rebel' looks to be a compelling new TV show due to dealing with recent events involving the police and the African-American community.
