    The Script is little more than writing for shock value with a little sex thrown in here and there so it can be watchable by men. Debauchery. A little more realistic writing would be nice. Every scene does not need to involve abuse or blood.

    This show had so many historical and logical flaws I had to quit during episode1. Captured slaves attempting to escape are put in a cabin with a nice fire going. Why wouldn't they burn a hole in the cabin. Then one slave has written detailed instructions for another. Since it was typically a crime to teach a slave to read this seemed highly improbable. Okay subject but inferior treatment.

    Disgraceful . What a way to further escalate racial hate and keep blacks hating whites in 2016. I bet today's youth will take this for accurate historical account Good cinematography, that's all.

    The solid cast, compelling overall storyline and deft twists (Rosalee’s mother is full of surprises) add up to an engrossing, enlightening drama.

    As of its first four episodes, Underground is in a solid position moving forward, thanks to its breathless momentum and wonderful anchoring performances from Hodge, Smollett-Bell, Vann, and Miller in particular.

    Underground celebrates the small, exceptional group of black and white heroes who risked it all for the sake of freedom. And it’s that story, the amazing cast and the historically accurate writing behind the drama that make this series worth the investment.
