Kindred

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!!!

Generally I enjoyed it because I was intrigued by the storyline and time travel concept and I would definitely watch following seasons if they came out because it ended on a cliffhanger. But I have to admit that Dana annoyed me. I felt that as someone who is black and fully aware of the history of slavery included the common practices that occurred at the time, she was very reckless and either naive or plain stupid with a lot of her decisions without thinking about the possible repercussions for others. I also didn't understand why she didn't stay more close to Kevin fully well knowing that she was his only way out of the plantation. There were just plain reckless a lot of the time. But besides that, good acting on the whole and I look forward to a season 2. But better writers are needed. Too many stupid choices made. Frustrating at times to watch.

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.

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 give this film an A. Expertly developed storyline!

The plot thinckens! I didn't realize there would be a season 2. Hope it's not cancelled, as I must see what happens next! I was vested in this series from the first minute of the initial episode. This film delivers, like I never imagined.

The lead plays her character brilliantly! I was a little iffy on Tom, but he grew on me, and I just love his character. The aunt and uncle add to the suspense. The "massa" character is a little slow, yet just when you think he's fooled he catches on, and leaves you on pins and needles. This is must see TV!
