Shashah Review

If you think America is a country of freedom and security, you should think again after watching this series.

A miniseries from the latest production of HBO 2022 that presents real events which  took place in Baltimore from 2003 to 2018 based on a book of the same name written by a press reporter who witnessed the events of the investigations that happened.

The events revolve around massive corruption in the police departments and many crimes against humanity, which expose a dark side of our reality.

You may get mixed up in the first two episodes due to the large number of characters and the oscillation between time, but as soon as the thoughts and characters coordinate in your mind, you will be hooked to know whether what happened is true or false accusations? and how bad the situation was in that district?

The series' atmosphere is brilliant as well as the acting, especially the actor John Bernthal who has mastered his character in a very catchy way.

If you like The Wire series or you are a fan of crime series based on true events, this series will meet your expectations, but it is not suitable for family viewing.
