The Good Lord Bird

The dialogue and characters in this show are gold, but Hawke's is a sparkling diamond. He plays a loveable madman that lights up each scene! This is a really enjoyable show, overall.

To Frederick Douglass, he said "Howdy Fred". That was so darn funny I'm laughing a long time afterwards. The writer punctured a full balloon with those two words. Show just keeps getting better with each episode.

Was expecting a lot of woke and no substance, but this surprised me. Life can be funnier than any piece of fiction. It's a dark comedy. Ethan Hawke is amazing. Gets better with each episode.

Ethan wooooooow! The act of his life, I believe this show is great but Ethan he is changing into one of the best actors of these recent years! Welldone , Just wow!

The Good Lord Bird was every bit as good the reviews said it would be. It is such a powerful story about a newly freed teenager who joins abolitionist John Brown (Ethan Hawke) on a holy crusade to end slavery. They encounter great historical figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Truman along the way. It's a story that everyone should know. It shines a spotlight on racial, religious and gender roles that have made up America. The one thing I wasn't expecting from this was the humor throughout the series, it just makes the show that much better. Ethan Hawke is amazing here as always and was nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe for his performance!
