I been googling Korey Wise and Jharelle Jerome names all week long since I seen this movie!!! His preformance was breath taken and I related to this movie on so many levels because I have brothers in prison and one of them have a disability so his preformance took me there.. I cry everytime I see them!

Jharrel’s performance broke me...the solitary confinement scenes were heartbreaking and if he doesn’t win, (cause he’s definitely going to be nominated) I will be LIVID!!! And to think that this is only the beginning for him...he’s absolutely amazing! Edited to add that he has been nominated for best lead actor in a limited series!!! So happy for him!!!

I've seen Jharrel Jerome in 'Moonlight' and 'First Match' but his role in 'When They See Us' opened my eyes to what he can really do....extremely talented! Job well done Jherrel!!❤

[@CC-yu7zh]

I read a comment on one post about Jharrell bodying that part! He bodied it, embodied it, slayed it, honored Korey and his pain through it. YES, GIVE HIM EV-ER-Y AWARD! EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM! My prayers for the Exonerated Five, all the talented actors (child & adult) involved in this project, the incomparable Ava Duvernay...and for CHANGE. I am definitely in change, not just chat mode. I'm on it!!! If this series does not inspire ALL of us to find places where we can make a difference with this flawed system and to begin that process, then WE failed Ava, the EXONERATED 5, and our future generations.

[@mikeymom_5866]

well spoken

[@deneengrant2086]

“I’ve won all the awards in my book.” I knew I liked his spirit, but now it’s confirmed-he is the real deal!

[@kidnamedgus]

I can watch the scene from 'When They See Us' when he just imagine his freedom going to the Carnival with his girlfriend and cry everytime. that's the most emotional part for me. This man is definitely so important, and careful in all those scenes. clap hands for Jharrel Jerome. he deserves the world.

[@chicitysheba4409]

OMG that was so inspiring and I wanted that to be Koreys reality so much. I just kept saying "damn I wish he would've just said naw...Im staying with you.

[@chynadoll77cyn59]

I didn’t see that part cuz I couldn’t watch no more after the part his momma came to see him and he asked for 20 dollars she didn’t have it , omg I cried 😢 I thought about my brother, my son that senses crush me bad. And the part of him going to the store in prison. Only getting 2 candy bars. 😭.

[@jenniferrenee4384]

During that scene I cried my eyes out. All he could do was think about what happened and the what ifs 😢

[@fabriennealexander2254]

He played Kory so well! I watched an interview of the Central Park 5 and the real Kory said he don’t do too many interviews because he was so angry and I understand why now! Why would you send a 16 year old boy to Rykers Island. They tried to kill him in my eye. God Bless those men and I mean that from my heart and their families. God Bless these young men who played them!

[@brivonn1580]

[@triciahardimon6175]

Soul Creative, last year the Academy awards changed their ruling and Netlix movies can be nominated for Oscars now. Last year the Neflix movie Roma was nominated for a Oscar. So this movie has a chance of being nominated.

[@KNightRider504]

@@triciahardimon6175 This is NOT a movie. It's an episodic/limited series. Roma (and Mudbound) was only eligible because it was not only a movie, but it also had a limited run at the theaters. I don't know why people on forums like this keep saying WTSU is eligible for the Oscars when it is not. It is eligible for the Primetime Emmys, however because of its format (limited series with 4 episodes).

[@thomassodomizer764]

Jharrel Jerome is going to be next hot thing. These breakout performances like this are very rare. Denzel in Glory, Timothy Hutton Ordinary People. I look forward to seeing him pickup his Emmy for this role and for future Emmys and Oscars

[@cheriba7825]

This interviewer is asking great questions and not interrupting his answers. Great interview. But to you young king, your performance moved us beyond words. I still can't stop thinking about you and Korey ever since. Please make sure you debrief and get counselling after playing such a heavy and sad role because embodying a person's pain can actually affect an actor drastically. You are amazing and may all doors of opportunity open for you in the future. 😘😘😘👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

If he don't get an Emmy or an Oscar all hell is gonna break loose. If Milly Bobby Brown from Stranger Things can get nominated, Jharrel Jerome can too.

[@SoulQueenWu]

I can't explain the magnitude of what Jharrel Jerome accomplished in this role. It transcends on so many levels and in so many ways.

[@CandyTre1]

It is extremely important for our people to be able to express themselves articulately and clearly because there are so many stories that need to be told. This could not have been done if there wasn’t an extensive level of research and art to display the pain and injustice that occurred. I cried for hours but this series is a MUST watch. This is a honest depiction of our lives and the trauma that we endure every day when we have to watch the news or are on social media. Thank you to the innocent 5 for sharing your stories; not giving up and screaming your innocence. Without your strength for 30 years there’s no humanity given to those who go to prison, there’s known injustice in the justice system and it needs to be dismantled from root to stem.

[@kayesmith2518]

I recently watched the Kalief Browder story. Its outrageous that this continues to happen.

[@wenlaw9911]

I thought I knew this story because of the Ken Burns doc BUT man I KNEW NOTHING! THIS film was so amazing and I truly had to deep breaths in between each episode but lawd!

Hopefully Mr. Jerome wins every award there is to win...If he doesn't win not one... he would still be a winner in the world's eyes! I'm sure all the people involved in ruining Kory wise's life would have to admit that he played the heck out of the kid they sent to prison for no reason at all.

The hole miniseries was so well put together Ava job well done.

[@amyr3285]

What a great actor Jharrel is. So intelligent, humble and gives an amazing performance in this series. Very hard to watch the injustice in the series. Growing up in NYC myself, and reading about this in the papers, I was horrified to see what happened behind the scenes to these young teens. But these actors give those teens depth and their true persona as victims of the hostility they faced then. Superb job, Jharrel.

[@elizabethbobb9777]

He is so mature and eloquent in speech far from what he played in the film he seemed much different maybe a bit delayed but I watched the real Kory questioned video it was exactly the same. It also shows him coming back with a different story Alittle bit like he had been told to change it! They are such great actors and my hat goes off to these men!

[@Bonitaymorena]

The real Korey has a hearing problem so that might explain why he seems delayed. He seems very innocent still like a kid eventhough he is a grown man. I wonder is he had dyslexia which would explain him having trouble reading and if he has a hearing problem that would make it much worse when the lawyers were trying to manipulate them.
