David Makes Man is one of those rare shows that earns the title of the best series you're not watching. The drama follows a teen named David, who lives in the projects and attends a magnet school for gifted students. David perpetually finds himself caught between two worlds — the world of his family, and a world that could offer him a way out of the cycle of poverty. Along the way, the young protagonist must face the realities of racial inequality and the weight of responsibility he feels to build a better life for himself.
