Both of these women are just outta sight in the characters they play..but that character Ernestine I tell you something I LOVE HER. she has this way to read a persons soul in the show, she is strong and unbelievably witty she's like 10 steps ahead, I love that about her..Gosh this show keeps me on edge, I am rooting for them all the way to the north...I also notice that it creates things inside of me things that I have also felt will discuss at a later time
All of this ignoring and/or avoiding the racism/slavery aspects of our history in recent years is kind of idiotic IMO. To make any kind of progress, we can't forget or ignore part of where we came from.
ok - I originally said I wasn't going to watch the show. I just get so emotional when I watch these types of shows. So yesterday, I was at home bored and just happened to come across WGN on demand and LET ME TELL YOU!!!! I was hooked..... from 5pm until the last episode :-) I could not stop watching! Can't wait til this Wednesday!!!!Great job to ALL the cast members!
This series is indeed very different from most slave stories I've seen. The slave characters are portrayed in a new perspective. I think slaves have always been depicted as victims. This alien planted landed on our people and it was a huge, impossible Goliath. This story introduces us to characters of strength and power, acumen and innovation. Personally, not since Kunta Kinte of Roots have I seen this kind of fortitude, self-awareness, and self-inspiration in slave characters, even as developed by black creators. It’s definitely intriguing, absorbing and enlightening.
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is one of the most difficult, yet phenomenal books I have ever read. I'd consider it and books of its kind to be the precursor for Underground. Its one of those reads that you have to process before moving on to the next chapter; at times, even the next page.
IMPRESSIVE series - thrilling story, fantastic writing & music and well rounded, flawed and compelling characters. #topnotch Have to say badass 'Miss Ernestine' is my fav tho.

+Derell Caldwell I so agree, the show's narrative is a pleasant surprise. It's beautifully executed!
This show is so amazing, very powerful. Every character plays their role so well
What an amazing show! A lot of black people won't watch this show because of it being about slaves, but they are truly missing out.
Im.one of those people but now I think I need to start watching this show, again.
I watch them all. I have to support my people especially Jurnee. I support everything she does. haha I've lived her since she was on Full House

You are so right! These characters give such a vulnerability and strength to slaves,and even an intelligence to them.
I cannot wait for that Nate Turner movie
the music in this Everything!
