American Crime is an American anthology crime drama television series created by John Ridley which tells a new story each season, exploring complex issues like race, class and gender politics.
The first season follows the aftermath of a murder in Modesto, California. War veteran Matt Skokie is killed during a home invasion in which his wife, Gwen, is brutally attacked. The series uses the crime and its subsequent journey through the legal system to explore complex issues, mainly through the lenses of the victims' and suspect's families.
The second season takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana, where a public high school student accuses several members of a private school's championship basketball team of sexually assaulting him and then taking photos of the incident and posting them online.
Season 3 follows a number of unconnected storylines that explore issues of forced labour, sex trafficking, immigration, socio-economic divides and individual rights.
