Even WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins wanted the world to know he was watching the series that exposes the breakdown of the US criminal justice system as he simply posted the title: ‘When They See Us.’

The crime in the short series, When They See Us was centered around an incident involving 28-year-old Trisha Melli who was raped and nearly beaten to death in Central Park.

Viewers sympathized with all five men but there was one specifically that tugged at the heartstrings for many watchers: Korey Wise.

At the time he was the eldest of the five at 16-years-old – he is portrayed by the talented Jharrel Jerome in the depiction- as he served more than 13 years in adult prisons.

He was not a suspect initially but was brought in for questioning by the NYPD and was eventually persuaded into producing four different statements – two written and two videotaped confessions – as he could be interrogated without a guardian present.

 

Wise was the only young man whom the investigators had unrestricted access to.

The creator, writer, and director of  When They See Us said the viewing experience will be different for everyone.
