Steve McQueen's Small Axe Miniseries- 5 Movies Weekly(Prime Video)

Yea I finished the whole episode. It was my least favorite of the series. Very dragged on and repetitive

It was a terrible capture of lovers rock, got tons of backlash. My parents, elder colleagues and then online all said same.

I wonder this everyday, or Toronto. I wish they did tbh

Crazy how a lot of us have family back home in the Caribbean, Brooklyn, Miami, London, or Toronto. I know my Grandmother's little brother came to Winnipeg because of job opportunities at the time. I'm pretty sure (back then at least) that the Canadian government could decide which city you could go to based on job availability/need. Otherwise my family could have ended up in Toronto instead. Got a bit of family there already.

"Lovers Rock" is the one. Reminds me of "Babylon"

Steve McQueen made an EXCELLENT three part series on the New Cross Fire and the Brixton riots.

This some of the best viewing I've ever watched. Major props to him.

For those of us in the UK, this resonates heavy:
