American Crime: Best written show, best acting you will see on free television [View all]

The third season of American Crime (written by John Ridley) started last Sunday; the theme is human trafficking.

If you like serious television with a message, and if you like excellent acting, tune in at 9pm CST to ABC. This is my third year watching this series, and I've been riveted to every episode.
