El pájaro carpintero

Ethan wooooooow! The act of his life, I believe this show is great but Ethan he is changing into one of the best actors of these recent years! Welldone , Just wow!

The Good Lord Bird was every bit as good the reviews said it would be. It is such a powerful story about a newly freed teenager who joins abolitionist John Brown (Ethan Hawke) on a holy crusade to end slavery. They encounter great historical figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Truman along the way. It's a story that everyone should know. It shines a spotlight on racial, religious and gender roles that have made up America. The one thing I wasn't expecting from this was the humor throughout the series, it just makes the show that much better. Ethan Hawke is amazing here as always and was nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe for his performance!

Ethan Hawke plays Captain John Brown an abolitionist of slavery prior to the civil war and sometimes he can be a hit or miss with his performances, however this is definitely a hit in this beautiful blended story of truth and black comedy. Most of us only have the benefit of hindsight, but every now and again one of us has the foresight or maybe its just the courage and conviction to fight for what's righteous. The cast is superb, with great direction and cinematography. The script is witty and powerful and the story is... as they say history

I have to say The Good Lord Bird wasn't what I was expecting. Not in a bad way, it's a very good show, I just wasn't expecting it to be so funny. I was expecting a drama filled story with plenty of violence and it was those things too but it's also funny. As always, Ethan Hawke was fantastic here and was nominated for a bunch of awards for his performance. Hawke is great in just about everything he does but this might be his best performance of his career (outside of Training Day). This show wouldn't be the same without him. The series has gotten great reviews by pretty much everyone as it currently has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's only a 7 episode miniseries so you can binge through it pretty quick and I recommend you do.

The dialogue and characters in this show are gold, but Hawke's is a sparkling diamond. He plays a loveable madman that lights up each scene! This is a really enjoyable show, overall.
