Wow! Just wow! This is probably my second favourite crime show besides season 1 of true detective. There's a bunch of things True Detective does better but Black Bird absolutely stomps TD in terms of storytelling. The show is beautifully shot from the opening shot to the final closing shot, a lot of heart poured into each technical aspect.

At it's core Black Bird is a show about loss and redemption. Based on the true harrowing stories about Larry Hall, our main character is Jimmy Keene who is a drug dealer sent to get a confession out of Larry Hall for the crimes he committed. Through a series of beautifully crafted timelines, a harrowing series of crimes. The actors each give 120%, absolutely mesmerizing performances by Taron and Paul, and Ray Liotta too.

The show is pretty simple...yet it's so complex, I dont have quiet the vocabulary to express my fullest emotions about this show, so I'll try my best, please excuse me for my bad English.

First of all, Larry Hall is a terrible person, every crime he committed disgusts me, but you see the show does such a good job at not just spoon-feeding the audience on how bad Lary is, instead they give us...the audience a simple backstory to him too, his difficulties and for a moment you can do nothing but even feel a tiny bit of compassion to this monster. I mean his whole life, almost nothing has gone his own way, he wasn't born with the best circumstances, his parents wasn't really caring for him. The only person he could talk to or feel safe was with Gary his twin brother and later on Jimmy. Maybe...just maybe, Lary could've been a sweet caring guy, he just needed a little bit of attention, you can see that clear as day when he is conversing with Jimmy, he just needed someone to talk to. I'm not trynna say what Lary did was right or anything please don't get me wrong he got what he deserved in the end but just imagine how precious human life is and yet how so fragile we are. At the final few minutes, I ended up shedding a tear or two for both these characters, such a beautiful show.
