Judas and the Black Messiah

 An interesting chapter of history with a great central performance from Daniel Kaluya and some slight narrative messiness - it's not entirely sure whether it wants to talk about the FBI operation to take Hampton down or about Hampton - in particular, the appearance of some of his wife's poetry is a bit awkward. In the end Hampton sorta becomes a figure rather than a character. Still strong, but not quite as good as it could be.
