Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

grahamclements-98235 What a brilliant watch season 1 was , then season 2 happened - totally disjointed and most of the cast got Killed off at the end of season 1 , and the script of season 2 totally rubbish - shame as season one had us hooked - rated this 9/10 for season 1 , would rate second season 3 at the most

mmagliaro What a superb series. I have watched other movies, TV shows, and documentaries about the slave era of the US, but this one outshines the others in some critical ways. Both sides, the slaves and the slave owners, are portrayed as very flawed, often fighting among themselves for what they want. An escaping band of slaves isn't artificially shown to be "just a bunch of black folks running for freedom". No. Instead of such simplistic 1-dimensional impressions, they are shown to be sometimes desperate, sometimes loving, sometimes greedy. They are bound together by a common goal, but that doesn't necessarily mean they even like each other and that is a magnificent and realistic attribute to portray. Similarly, the slave owners and slave catchers are not just simply "bad guys". They are shown to be flawed, sometimes doubting what they are doing, often clashing with each other over how much evil they are willing to dish out just to show that they are "the boss".The actors are all top-notch, even though, honestly, I had never heard of a single one of them before watching this series.My only big quibble with the series is the background music. It appears like an out-of-place overly-loud bomb going off on top of all the dramatic scenes, calling way too much attention to itself instead of underscoring the action. In an instant, we are transported from the 1850s south to the sound of an angry urban ghetto. I suppose the developers of the show thought they were drawing parallels between 19th century slavery and 21st century racism, or maybe they thought they could appeal to younger viewers. But either way, the sound track just doesn't work. It's so bad we have to turn the sound down during all the loud sequences and essentially wait to "get back to the story". So instead of the dramatic action scenes being great climaxes, they end up being interruptions.I am really sorry to see that this series wasn't picked up for a 3rd season by WGN. The producer is trying to find another sponsor. I hope they find one. This is great television that is worth continuing.

morris_damond I heard they are taking the show off the air and I would really like the show to continue. It has been a really long time for me to have found sound something that could keep my attention and interest. The show Underground made me see life in a different perspective and help me see thing things the way they used to be and why life is the way it is now. How could you take away something that helps educate our history.

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!!
