Already, viewers have had such an emotional response to the show. Folks really feel connected to the story — so much so that a boycott has been started against Linda Fairstein, the Central Park Five prosecutor. #CancelLindaFairstein calls for publishers and booksellers to stop supporting Fairstein, who became a novelist after the controversial case.

@V_Marie3: Can you imagine how many others were wrongfully convicted because of @LindaFairstein . She doesn’t deserve to have any of her books in stores!

@BiggerHas: how did you sleep all those nights, you sent innocent children to prison. Well karma is here for you now. May you suffer and burn in hell.

On top of the fact that it’s a captivating,  true story there are plenty more reasons to check out Ava Duvernay’s brilliant series.
