This is absolutely an awesome series. There is a plot, history, action, protagonist and antagonist characters. The actors and actress' are well picked. I read thru many of the lower rated reviews on here and one common denominator of the majority is that none of these reviewers are of black ethnicity. Their comments reflected their very uninterest in the very true facts of black lives presented in this series.
FYI: please don't listen to the poor reviews as they are totally biased... yes I said biased and I truly mean lack of respect for television centered around black lives and the actors and actress' who portrayed characters that to many of us are real people. To conclude, this series was good enough to watch twice.
