Zusammenfassung

Reviewers say 'Kindred' is a complex adaptation with mixed reception. Praised for its time travel concept, acting, and production values, it faces criticism for deviations from Butler's novel. Fans express disappointment, while new viewers appreciate its engaging narrative. The series' intense portrayal of slavery evokes strong emotions. Despite changes, there's a call for more seasons to conclude the story.

A Shock To The Soul

Let me start by saying that i haven't read the book, but after watching this mini-series, i plan to. Kindred is heartbreaking, stomach turning and sadly, a look back at our violent past. As much as some have tried to erase our ugly past, it's still there and always will be. And if we don't stop and try to learn from it, we're doomed to repeat it. For me the most horrific moment was the sadistic, cold venom that came from a child, no doubt learned from everyday practices.

Kindred isn't an easy watch, but it should be a necessary one, especially with the recent waves of antisemitic hatred on the rise. I hope we learn the important lessons before it's too late.

My favorite book of all time

I've read the book at least 5 times. Can't put it down each time. At first, I was disappointed in the series for its MANY deviations from the book. And I agree with another reviewer about Kevin's character. However, I did enjoy the series, and I'm hoping for a second season. With that ending, there must be another season or 3. I think the basic premise has been met and the ground work has been laid to really tackle the issues addressed in the book. If you haven't read Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler, get it today. It's the kind of book you can't put down and makes you really think. I hope the series can have that element.

Fails to embody Octavia E Butler's voice.

Unfortunately, the show falls far short of the book. It isn't that it made changes. It's that the voice feels far removed from that of OEB. The themes it tries to explores feel, at times, heavy handed, and other times, not fully disected. It's so sad that the first adaption of OEB's work, and likely her most prolific, should feel so middle of the road.

I don't quite understand why the story was so heavily changed. Little of the dialogue feels taken from the book, and it sadly is not for the better. Tge result is a story that fails to fully grasp what made the book so exceptional even as we approach it's 50th anniversary.

actually enjoyable

Was not expecting much but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the series is a good show and I fear might be underrated, I didn't like the actor that played Kevin tho, it's like the dude can't act, thankfully the plot carried the show, the acting was very good especially from the lead female, she embody the character. Made it way too real for me, I know the slavery stuff might be too much for some people and I really don't know how to express my thoughts in words but it was crazy, hopefully we get a season 2, can't leave me hanging like that, my brain might overload from thinking what happens next.

Surprisingly Good Show

I give this film an A. Expertly developed storyline!

The plot thinckens! I didn't realize there would be a season 2. Hope it's not cancelled, as I must see what happens next! I was vested in this series from the first minute of the initial episode. This film delivers, like I never imagined.

The lead plays her character brilliantly! I was a little iffy on Tom, but he grew on me, and I just love his character. The aunt and uncle add to the suspense. The "massa" character is a little slow, yet just when you think he's fooled he catches on, and leaves you on pins and needles. This is must see TV!

Wissenswertes
This series is based on the highly acclaimed 1979 novel of the same name, by Octavia E. Butler. It's usually classified as science fiction, but in a 1991 interview with Randall Kenan in the journal Callaloo, Butler said, "Kindred is fantasy. I mean literally, it is fantasy. There's no science in Kindred. I mean, if I was told that something was science fiction I would expect to find something dealing with science in it. For instance, Wild Seed [a later novel] is more science fiction than most people realize. The main character is dealing with medical science, but she just doesn't know how to talk about it. With Kindred there's absolutely no science involved. Not even the time travel. I don't use a time machine or anything like that. Time travel is just a device for getting the character back to confront where she came from."
