FRUITVALE STATION
September 13, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Michael B. Jordan is a movie star here – in this 2013 fact-based drama, he plays the central character in a story about an ill-fated young man on New Year’s Eve. But fans of quality TV have tracked his star appeal for a while now – as Alex in Parenthood, as Vince in Friday Night Lights, and, long before those excellent performances, as Wallace in The Wire. So don’t be surprised if he draws you in here. He’s been doing that for years.
