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!!!! 👍
... View MoreThis is one of my favorite shows to watch on Tuesday nights. Rebel is a strong black woman. The cast members are phenomenal.However I think it touches on a lot of things going on in the world around us, like black crimes, homeless, domestic violence, racism, drugs and alcohol.. lack of education and good parenting...

View MoreConsidering that I compare all shows whether they are movies or a TV series against movies such as Avalon, Quigley Down Under, Dances With Wolves or Hamlet, the Mel Gibson version, it's rather hard for a simple TV series to compare. However, imho the three critiques already listed aren't quite fair. The show so far isn't nowhere near the block buster it has been made out to be. It's nothing more than OK, depending on your tastes. Imho the main character isn't quite as tough as she needs to be to portray the character she is supposed to be. She also seems to be a bit inexperienced for the part. As far as her being a bent cop goes, uhmmm, no, not really. Nor is she playing a racist like the other critique claims she is. She is reacting no differently than anyone else would react in a similar situation. To top that off one actor doesn't beat around the bush about playing a white racist. Methinks the person writing the critique is very probably a racist himself. Dunno, don't know him but that's how his critique struck me. Anyway, for me the show was just OK. I won't go out of my way to make sure I don't miss any episodes but if it's on, I might watch it again. I do know if it doesn't improve I definitely won't be watching it again which isn't saying much actually. I get more enjoyment out of watching the news than I do anything on television anymore.
... View MoreI was really hoping for something good here. Oups, Not what I got. Spoilers That character is all over the place. She's hip for 2 minutes, angry for 2 minutes, a racist for 2 minutes. What are you? She is not a cop for sure cause if they are cops like her, a mental ward is a good destination. Then she quits the police force to become a PI because she feel that the police can't do their jobs (Or don't let her kill people that she wants too) A complete farce. In 1 hour and 21 minutes (spending 3 days or 4) she has 14 different hair styles. The face time (phone call) scene is one of the most hilarious thing I have ever seen ( cause it was so bad). She stumbles on a terrorist nest but instead of calling for back-up she brings 1 of the 3 terrorists to the police station her self leaving 2 bad guys behind and the stash of explosives and weapons only to come back to a cleaned out place and cops don't believe her. If you didn't like Iron Fist or Luke Cage. After watching this one,You gonna want to throw your screen out of the window of any floor you live in.
