Black Cake

I'm glad I came across this series. There are so many stories that can be told other than the same plot and storylines that are told over and over again on network tv and in movies. This series takes a colorful journey into the past to retrace the steps of a young girl. During this journey, there are gripping tragedies that go beyond the imagination and keep the pace of personal story of an immigrant led family. Secrets, confusion and broken storylines often blur realities for some people with similar life experiences and again kudos to the author's perspective and producers for bringing this story to light.

Con: although the cinematography is as beautiful as the story the screens are often not well lit and hard to see details even with my HD TV playing in vivid picture.

I didn't know anything about this show except a vague recollection that Oprah had "something to do with it" but didn't know to what degree until I researched a bit on IMDB. I binged all 8 episodes over a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, the cast, characters, and cinematography. I was sorry when the final episode ended. I did not have any trouble following the storylines or empathizing with any of the characters. I very much enjoyed watching so many extremely talented actors bring their complicated characters to life. I will look forward to a potential Season 2. Very well done!

This series is amazing. I almost turned it off because of the first 5 minutes... until I saw actor Glenn Turman. His presence on screen grounded the project for me. As I've watched more and more of the series, I am blown away by the storyline and the series' production value. The entire team has brought forth its 'A game.' If I did have a complaint, I am unsure if the storyline with the two siblings is valuable. Yes, it is valid for a book - not so much for a screen. Every time they were on screen, I wanted to get back to the actual story featuring actress Mia Isaac.

I highly recommend that everyone watch this series.

Hulu's new show "Black Cake" is a must-watch.

This multi-generational saga, led by showrunner and executive producer Marissa Jo Cerar, weaves together elements of murder mystery and family drama.

It kicked off on November 1st.

Black Cake delivers an expansive family saga, showcasing mixed-race identities seldom seen in today's TV landscape.

This narrative also mirrors how a hidden dessert can reveal a tumultuous reality.

Beyond garnering critical acclaim, this eight-episode adaptation is a treat that mystery thriller enthusiasts have long anticipated.

The show breaks new ground by featuring a protagonist who is half-Jamaican and half-Chinese, offering a refreshing perspective seldom seen on television.

The casting of Mia Isaac, who hails from a Black and Asian background, - in the role of Covey, is a welcome breath of fresh air in the world of TV."

A good series, 3 episodes in.

I enjoy this series, different multi-cultural, geographical and generational. I love seeing new talent and feel all characters have a complex enough storyline that we should have a good 5 seasons.

I really love Eleanor. I'm a fan of time-travel- the script does a good job blending past, present for each of the characters without being confusing.

The character backgrounds are revealed with the right timing and having the background makes you understand and empathize with the character being spotlighted.

I hate I found this while the streaming is live - I prefer to binge watch... I'm forced to wait until next week.
