Free Rayshaun on the Roku Channel. Excellent. I am sure the Blue Lives Matter Folks will be pissed

I don't know if the Roku Channel is available to those that don't have a Roku TV. Roku now has original content.
Laurence Fishburne stars in Free Rayshaun.

These series are a bit different from what you may be used to. Each episode is only 10 minutes or less - but you can watch them back to back with 2-3 commercials. So to me it comes across as a full length movie, with commercials.

Apparently Roku bought Quibi which was meant to deliver movie quality content to cell phones - which is why the episodes are shorter in length than regular tv episodes.

I am10 episodes in, so I don't know how this ends yet. It almost never ends well for a black man being pursued by cops so I have a feeling it doesn't end well. But will have to finish watching

In any event, says a lot about the current state of policing in America.
