Underground

Although there are things about the show that are hard to watch, I recommend this show to all races, colors, and creeds. But because I am black, I implore other black people to take notice of this show. Yes, the black people of the show are slaves, but the characters and the writing make me proud of where we came from (in this country). They show the skills, craftsmanship, and innovation that black people have always possessed. They also show the compassion that some white people had toward the plight of slaves. What I like most about the show is how it makes me feel about black people. Looking at the news today, it's getting harder and harder to imagine that we were once a great people. Books can be and are written on the how, why, where, when, and what state black people are in today, but for an hour I get to imagine an uprising of "NO MORE!" and watch respectable black characters---and that is rarely seen on TV. Keep up the good work and congratulations on being picked up for next 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.

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
