I'm a huge television fan & I must say that this is the best series I've ever seen. For me, Underground tops them all. The subject matter alone is jarring, but the writing, the direction & the pace! My God, you truly relate to these characters and their desperate plight to obtain something most of us take for granted today - simple freedom. The pace of the show gives you an example of the life and death timing that was at stake. When you watch this show, you will truly realize how those who came before us fought like hell, bled and often died for the very freedom we enjoy today. The performances from all of the cast, especially Jurnee Smollett, Aldis Hodge, Christopher Meloni, Amirah Vann, Jessica De Gouw, Reed Diamond, Marc Blucas and so many others - will leave you speechless.If you are an American - you must watch Underground. For anyone else who loves Liberty & freedom regardless of your nationality - you too must watch!This is the only show ever that literally made me shout back at my television. I've never done that - ever:)

This movie was action pack and closely historically presented.

I couldn't finish Season 2 but Season 1 was straight fire from beginning to end. Very well written. I love the chemistry between the characters. I love the rivalry between the characters that Aldis Hodge and Alano Miller play. You literally can't watch just one episode with this show. If you're debating on whether to purchase or rent this or not, do yourself a favor and click that button. You will not be disappointed.

Loved it. I remember reading about the underground as a young girl and have watched many re-tellings of what may or may not have happened during that time. They have all been heart wrenching and enlightening. Nothing will ever truly give us that same experience that slaves who had the courage to leave a life that they knew in their hearts was not right and the sacrifice that they each made to reach that freedom. I am so grateful for writers and creators that have a vision to show us a little different viewpoint and do it with excellence. Each character in this story is totally enveloped in who they represent. It shows in ever word they say; expression they make and action they take. There are surprises around every corner. As soon as you think things will turn out a certain way, BAM something happens that shakes it up. The choreography and music is simply amazing, breathtaking and truly entertaining. The music and choreography ties everything together. Thank you John Legend! I never would have thought some of the songs appropriate for this type of story line, but I was wrong. Modern music behind a historical story? Who would have thought? Very well done. I am rooting for the Macon 7 and looking forward to their journey.

From an entertainment aspect, I must say it is not like the typical slave story as the storytelling is about the pursuit of freedom. Cast is solid but my only reservation is the music. I have the hardest time following the program when contemporary music is playing in the background but I guess that is what also makes the show different. I won't hold my breath to see programming that reflects African people other than slaves. I'll just enjoy this for its entertainment value only.

Well done! Initially when I started watching episode 1 I thought I would not be able to get through it as an African American because it would be too emotionally taxing. But I mustered through episode 1 and by the second episode I found the hidden treasure of this series. This is not just another movie or series about slavery, it truly captures every emotional side of it from everyone's perspective, slaves, slave masters, abolitionists, slave bounty hunters, mothers, wives and children, etc... And that is the beauty of it. To write and direct this series in a way that allows the audience to see and understand all aspects of slavery and how it effected each side of the equation is the beauty of this series. The surprise twists and turns were beautifully written. With that said, I won't do like some reviewers do and give you a total detailed recap of the season because I want you to watch it for yourself without any preconceived notions based on facts revealed to you in an Amazon review.; which is the way I saw it. I didn't read any reviews first. I just watched it. If you'd be so kind, follow up with me after you watch season 1 and let me know what you think. And in the end, I leave you with two words: Well Done!
