Season 1 Review: Powered by Whitaker's performance and pertaining commentary on racism, this series is enjoyable at times and too lengthy at others. That said, if you don't mind a slow-pacing mystery with a few twists and turns that don't necessarily reinvent the wheel, Emperor of Ocean Park will make a good companion. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series struggles from the start to balance its potboiler thrills with family drama, however, and by the second half is getting lost in its own weeds. At ten hours, the season feels simultaneously overstuffed and overlong. Read full review
