This is of the horror genre, but I would assume for most African-Americans there is a genre much worse that takes center stage. With its non-linear storytelling, this series based on true events sinks you further into history with each episode. The reviews on here who've described the series as unnecessary, or that it's too cliche as the main family of the story has emotional/mental challenges, are dense to say the least and they clearly did not watch the series in its entirety. They completely undermine the trauma that many many black families from the south experienced and the causes of the mental anguish. This series teaches a valuable lesson in history (with the added mysticism of paranormal activity) that far too many would like to sweep under the rug. This series serves as a powerful reminder of the lack of progress we've made as a nation in racial animosity today and hopefully provide some perspective for those who haven't known the full scope of the impact racism had on the African-American family structure, health and mental state.
