Kindred

Was not expecting much but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the series is a good show and I fear might be underrated, I didn't like the actor that played Kevin tho, it's like the dude can't act, thankfully the plot carried the show, the acting was very good especially from the lead female, she embody the character. Made it way too real for me, I know the slavery stuff might be too much for some people and I really don't know how to express my thoughts in words but it was crazy, hopefully we get a season 2, can't leave me hanging like that, my brain might overload from thinking what happens next.

I just came across this series on the same day it was premiered and am currently at episode 4 and enjoying it. I love the twist it has to it.

What is making Dana go back?

How can she control her gift?

I guess I will find that out before the end of the series. I love each characters but I really wish the Kevin character could be more outspoken. But anyways I guess that's how his character in the series was written.

For you to enjoy a series like this. You will need to take your time, sit back and enjoy it. Watch it all at once.

For those who has read the book, try not to compare it to the series especially if it dosen't meet expectations. Just try and enjoy it.

The series was sooooo good and I cannot believe there will not be a season 2. Praying another network picks it up because that was one of the BIGGEST cliffhangers I have ever witnessed and I need to see what happens.

Personally, I loved the adaptations that were made. You just have to completely separate the book from the series. If you struggle with that skill, and like movies/shows to be played out exactly like the book you read, then yes... you will struggle with this series.

The role of Kevin could have been better, but I got over that halfway through. Everyone else was phenomenal!

Please Netflix pick this series up! I need to see what happens next!!!

This is one of the most original and shows from the recent past. Additionally, the topics it touches upon are super current and it addresses social issues like racism, privilege, misogyny, illiteracy... It shows so well how cruel people and a society at large can be but also complicates everything by allowing the audience to understand the matter of fact mindset of people who behave terribly towards other humans.

The acting is solid. (The protagonist's looks and behavior resemble somewhat Viola Davis. It's like a younger version of her. Would be cool to see them both in the same movie as siblings, mother and daughter or same person at different ages!) The plot makes sense and is super tense and interesting... Word in the press is the makers are shopping the show to other streaming services and I really hope someone picks it up and the shops continues. In the meantime I am going to read the book. First session is supposedly only the first third of the book and I must find our hours it continues.

Let me start by saying that i haven't read the book, but after watching this mini-series, i plan to. Kindred is heartbreaking, stomach turning and sadly, a look back at our violent past. As much as some have tried to erase our ugly past, it's still there and always will be. And if we don't stop and try to learn from it, we're doomed to repeat it. For me the most horrific moment was the sadistic, cold venom that came from a child, no doubt learned from everyday practices.

Kindred isn't an easy watch, but it should be a necessary one, especially with the recent waves of antisemitic hatred on the rise. I hope we learn the important lessons before it's too late.
