show n quickly but t without purpose deep-dives into defending or African leers over war crimes charge brought by French. As two cases cross-pollinate, show keeps transforming all while Kate's childhood trauma keeps her inner life churning — burning with a misplaced/righteous anger that binds/blinds her to full complexity of past. 

most compelling thing about show is how it tries to define justice in a world where heroes do b things and fate transforms villains into victims. It's going to take a lifetime to capture complexity in such a world, and Black Earth Rising is only an 8-episode mini-series. But if fans are familiar with Hugo Blick's previous series such as Show Line and Hourable Woman, n re is little doubt that this global-scale conspiracy-thriller will be back soon with an exciting season 2.
