Myself and the wife just binge watched all 5 episodes yesterday.

Show is a classic in the making. Great writing and characters. Wife was skeptical (and pissed off) at first but she's hooked as well.

Excited to see what happens next. #Neverforget
on the strength of your wife's endorsement i'll start watching again because after the first 2 episodes i was like fukk this shyt. just made me angry.

Show is solid from what i've seen so far...

I like how this show plays with the hollywood stereotypes and tropes of slave films and puts them flat on their face. We get introduced to the "white savior", the "c00n', etc...

The "white savoir" ends up being the slave catcher, the "c00n" who assist the master in punishing the other slaves ends up being the one who want's to leave the plantation the most and actually sets off the whole plan[/quote]
