trayfifty I do not agree with those who didn't like the music content. The music content just made it easier to attract younger viewers. It didn't matter to me that it didn't fit the time because it's just background music to add drama (duh!). There are many thing that the slaves experienced that may not have been portrayed but none of us, unless we lived the life or lived during that time could ever really know everything that was experienced. The things that were dramatized on the show we well enough for me. If you want to experience more gore, there's always other places to get your fix. The show was entertaining and for that it served it's purpose. I was very happy with it.

MeMeTellem I gave this series a 7 out of 10 because the first season was great...and then, the second season happened. The second season made me question this show. Some of the characters in the first season turned out to be a different character in the second season. Rosalee was a scary one turned most courageous over night. Noah lost his courage. Stein became addicted to drugs and suicidal, sleeping with a man who hits her...(it just seemed so out of her character.) Cato turned villain, turned good guy, turned villain again...in two seasons? It had me questioning do I want this person to win? Wait, why was I rooting for this character again? And what was up with the countless story telling/ too much talking scenes? Are we watching a show or an interview? There were flash backs and scenes that had nothing to do with the storyline or moving the show forward. The ladies practiced shooting... to not use it. Cato transported Noah... just to talk to him...erm OK? Flash backs of Cato fighting...for what? Harriet Tubman did little to nothing when historically she's done much more. Rosalee gets bit by a snake and... Well, she had been bit. Things also felt rushed. John's death and Rosalee's pregnancy. Noah and Rosalee barely had sex. I like this show but Season 2 was a no for me.

misstar-05552 Three seasons and I WANT MORE! I usually stop by.the second season, but not.this time. I LOVE this series. It's true to life and heart stopping and nail biting. A lot of any type of shows out now even comedies are below par. This show deserves Oscar,, Grammy, Peoples Choice and more. KEEP the series coming. It's highly entertaining, and you have not disappointed my over 1000 watch party goers yet. Thank you for this excellent writing, casting, producing and directing

trustnonever 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!!
