Ethan Hawke and Hubert Point-Du Jour in The Good Lord Bird (2020)
Ethan Hawke stars as abolitionist John Brown in this Limited Event Series produced by Blumhouse Television based on the award-winning novel. The story is told from the point of view of "Onion," a fictional enslaved boy who becomes a member of Brown's motley family of abolitionist soldiers battling slavery in Kansas, and eventually finds himself in the famous 1859 Army depot raid at Harpers Ferry, an inciting incident of the Civil War. It's a humorous and dramatic tale of Antebellum America and the ever-changing roles of race, religion and gender in American society.

    El Quijote in the west. Enjoyed It.

    I didnt even knew the story of John Brown because i am not american. I really like the portrait it make of man with lights and shadows. It remains me so much of "El Quijote" and thats why I really liked it.

    Pretty Entertaining

    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.

    A hidden gem

    Was expecting a lot of woke and no substance, but this surprised me. Life can be funnier than any piece of fiction. It's a dark comedy. Ethan Hawke is amazing. Gets better with each episode.

    When Henrietta is Introduced at the Dinner Table

    To Frederick Douglass, he said "Howdy Fred". That was so darn funny I'm laughing a long time afterwards. The writer punctured a full balloon with those two words. Show just keeps getting better with each episode.
