What to Know

Critics Consensus

Black & White's clunky format fumbles the fundamentals of storytelling, but this hybrid series nonetheless scores a touchdown in conveying Colin Kaepernick's truth.

Scott Bryan BBC.com he main lead, Jaden Michaels, who plays young Colin, is astounding hes completely believable. Hes one to look out for and I think hes got a fantastic career ahead of him. Rated: Must Watch Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Kambole Campbell Hyperallergic It's frustrating that the show creates such tension between Kaepernick speaking and the show speaking for itself, ultimately undermining its key player. Nov 8, 2021 Full Review Kristen Lopez IndieWire There's something highly watchable about it, particularly in young Colin's narrative. The cast within the storyline about Kaepernick's life are great, even if Kaepernick himself isn't the best host and narrator. Rated: C+ Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Marya E. Gates The Playlist DuVernay and Kaepernick have crafted a hybrid docudrama limited series that is both personal and universal, educational and raw. Rated: A Feb 23, 2022 Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte National Catholic Reporter Kaepernick is letting us into the dehumanizing process of a sport that so many fans enjoy but know little of what goes on behind the scenes. Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Monica Reid Far Out Magazine Although the show often falls flat, it also has moments of insight and clarity, and information worth sharing.

D S This is as fiction as can be. Shining a light on something that is only as real as someone's imagination. That someone being Colin Kaepernick, a lowlife who was payed millions of dollars to make himself look like a victim. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Daysha M Being mixed this show was very touching and relatable. There needs to be more shows like this. Amazing!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Mike Great short show to watch at home with your friends. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Ava R This show was so eye opening and enjoyable. I loved the message and story behind Colin Kaepernick. The actors and prosecution was absolutely amazing. The acting was so good and I like how it was educational on many things such as following what you know is right and working hard for what you want pays off. Overall this was such a good series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Michael S A truly engaging docudrama, easy to watch with moments that uplift, but at the heart it's a window to educate us in systemic oppression and the frustrations and views of a young man talented facing obstacles that should not exist.
