Underground

This series is, by far, the most historically accurate depiction of this topic shown on prime time television--I'd dare to say--ever! What I appreciate most is that it explores the complexity of the institution of slavery, specifically encompassing the interpersonal relationship dynamics that existed between everyone involved in the atrocities of slavery in America--master/slave/overseer/mistress/slave hunter/advocates, the list goes on!

I recommend this show to EVERYONE! It angers, empowers, explains, and opens the doors to conversation about SOOOOO much. If you care anything about TRUE American History, watch this series...and READ! :)

I really enjoyd this serie. Action, scene, story. All is nice but music is very bad. Like some 15 years old has chosen all music and it just does not fit in the picture.

For example in season 1, section 3 in the action at the minute 25.33. Really? Why?

So much money and pain and work and music spoiles everything. Modern music doesn't fit a film set old stories because it doesn't match the historical sound and mood of that time. The instruments, styles, and emotions in those age were very different, so using modern music can make the film feel out of place and less authentic.

Using the wrong music in a film can ruin the experience by disrupting the authenticity and emotional connection to the story, it makes it difficult for viewers to fully engage with the film.

Nice show, bad music.

By no means is this a bad show. Binge worthy, even. But the historical side is awful. There are surely some cliches, some eye rolling lines given, but not a single historically accurate piece of clothing or behavior. The main female lead abolitionist alters between 1890 California elite and 1930 Berlin. On the whole, it's ok

This show is a must see, the acting the storyline the music is all 10s across the board. This is not your typical slave TV show. It shows the strength and the courage that both the slaves had and those that helped along the railroad. The show makes you rally for the slaves and leaves you on the edge of your seat when you think they may get caught. It shows how intelligent the slaves had to be to run and find ways to communicate with each other without writing or having the current forms of communication. The only downside I have seen with this show is that there are only 10 episodes although for a first season that is good but I would have liked there to be at least 15 or more. I truly hope it gets picked up for a second season.

Would have been a much better show if the music wasn't so horrible. It completely takes away from the show. Absolutely hated the music.
