stmo-94859 I've read many reviews by others pointing out the attire of the slaves and the music score not being authentic to the times. I saw ROOTS when it first aired in the 70's. While there was controversy then , there will be controversy with the story-line and attire and musical performances now in the 2000's. This story could be more factual at best if there had been more torture scenes but what good would that idealism have done to the audience. I have enjoyed the way this story-line has been presented. The words in the songs told a bit more than another scene could have done in the story-line. I and my 2 sons thoroughly enjoy UNDERGROUND.
bluesagecliff Would've given this a higher rating but the music is out of whack and not suitable with a period series such as this. Using rock music is especially annoying so we've gotten around that by muting when it plays.This is especially evident in the episode Season 1 , near the beginning where there's a social event/dance and Elizabeth does a dance ( as a distraction) to this modern rock music, weird indeed. It was like the scene changed to "just acting".
ray The music, some of the editing and language are all wrong. This is a historical piece but the music and sound statements are thoroughly modern and therefore out of place and time. The same can be said for the modern quick jump editing in some of the scenes. These are completely at home in a modern drama but only distract in this period piece. Language is another problem. Would someone in the 1850s really say "it doesn't look like there was any forced entry"? I think not. This is a modern Law & Order appropriate statement that does not fit. These inconsistencies don't ruin the series for me, they just make it harder to concentrate and enjoy the story.
deninelo This show is a must see, the acting the storyline the music is all 10s across the board. This is not your typical slave TV show. It shows the strength and the courage that both the slaves had and those that helped along the railroad. The show makes you rally for the slaves and leaves you on the edge of your seat when you think they may get caught. It shows how intelligent the slaves had to be to run and find ways to communicate with each other without writing or having the current forms of communication. The only downside I have seen with this show is that there are only 10 episodes although for a first season that is good but I would have liked there to be at least 15 or more. I truly hope it gets picked up for a second season.
