Reba deserves better than this. The writing is as flat at a pancake, aside from Reba and Melissa, none of the other characters are engaging or interesting. The entire pilot seemed forced, ridged and predictable. I really wanted to like this show, but not overly optimistic now. The actress playing her sister is the weakest link. She isn't believable at all and I don't see any chemistry between her, Reba or anybody else. I'll keep watching, hoping it gets better but not too optimistic.

Cinematography, period clothing, sets, perfect, performances - some are brilliant, some mediocre. Everything else... Well... Not so great. Unfortunate that there will be a generation of young adults who might end up thinking the underground railroad was an actual train. To much style and too much subjective interpretation of substance. Overall a lost opportunity to re-tell such a traumatic part of our history. I gave it 2 episodes, but couldn't watch anymore. Check out the Harriet Tubman biopic for a much for accurate depiction, that isn't muddied by someone else's (the director) bizarre interpretation.

Cool show! Too bad it only lasted 1 season.
