I'm on S01E04. Would not say that it's something sensational - background music truly terrible, a mandatory gay is there, white man bad - black man good is there, but it's kinda original-ish and has it's moments. Basically awkward surprise time travels smile

From is way better than this one. But this is just interesting enough to find out what will happen next.

Re: Kindred

This is like some Underground + Timeless + some screeching big_smile

P.S. Underground is a great show, looks underrated here.

Given that its based on a 70's novel by Octavia Butler about time travelling to a slave plantation you wouldn't really expect the white people to come out as the good guys.. Not my favourite novel by her and i read it a long time ago and only really remember it being depressing with several horrific passages one of which i still remember - so I will give it a miss - i would mention it but it may be in the series and i don't know how to put spoiler tags in smile. But if its a success maybe they will do a series based on her patternist or Xenogenesis novels which i much prefered.

Re: Kindred

Sure, only "KKK much" and couple more choices fall solid under "white man bad - black man good" category smile On the other hand, they could do that here a lot more, so overall focusing on the story instead of signaling how a lot of shows prefer to do it in 2022.

I did the same after reading some of the comments here I gave it a go but gave up after about 30 minutes.
