The US drama 61st Street is now available to stream in the UK. This intense thriller, which ran for two seasons from 2022 to 2024, tells the story of a talented young Black man wrongly caught up in the Chicago criminal justice system.
Fans in the UK can now stream both seasons of the show on ITVX, featuring Tosin Cole, known for his role in Doctor Who, and Courtney B. Vance from Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
I just started watching 61st Street, and it’s intense! It’s about this guy, Moses Johnson, played by Cole, who gets caught up by the police even though he didn’t do anything wrong. They’re looking for someone to blame after a drug operation goes south, and he’s the unlucky guy. Luckily, he’s got a lawyer, Franklin Roberts, played by Vance, fighting for him.
What to Read Next
According to Black Girl Nerds, the show’s plot isn’t its strongest point, but the talented cast is captivating enough to hold your attention.
The characters are well-developed, and their stories unfold in a way that will keep you eager to find out what happens next, they explained.
According to IndieWire, the film’s strong performances and realistic storytelling should resonate with audiences who are looking for examples of ethical behavior and courage, particularly from those in positions of power.
As noted by Reason Online, the film occasionally evokes a feeling of profound despair, showing how the criminal justice system can harm both the guilty and the innocent.
In a 2022 interview with Digital Spy, Cole discussed the series, emphasizing the importance of creating content that reflects and contributes to current social conversations and feels relevant to the present day.
He explained that it captures both the practical workings of the system and the genuine human stories behind it. It really highlights the idea that it takes a community to support and nurture a child.
It’s really powerful seeing the story unfold. You start to see moms banding together, fighting for their kids, and the whole community rallying around something they really believe in – something meant to help everyone. It’s especially moving when you realize the system itself might be working against them, trying to tear it all down.
61st Street is streaming in the UK on ITVX.
The latest issue of Living Legends magazine is now available, and it’s dedicated to the incredible Dolly Parton! You can find “Dolly at 80” in shops or order it online for only £8.99.
