I recognize how hard this struggle was for fairness & equality, but I kept hoping there would be some positive results & Justice. The perpetrators seemed to go unpunished constantly. I sincerely hope the storyline demonstrates Justice is served in future episodes.
I'm not unrealistic about this topic, but show us some evil gets punished.

This is must see television. The cast and story is top notch. Crossing my fingers this show is renewed for seasons to come. Shows like this are often put aside or canceled for no apparent reason. Thanks to BET for making this happen.
Amazing piece of Canadian history . The Porter series does an amazing job of showcasing the triumphs of the Canadian Porters and the railways of Canada . Amazing cast and story line. Thoroughly engaging .
The porter is a period piece about train poters. The production does a good job of setting the era. The quality is similar to that of downton abbey. There is a large cast many inter weaving stories. The casting and writing are both good.
I thouroughly enjoyed the first episode, the historical accuracy is wonderful because I feel that there's definitely a room for genre that's partially educational. I'm an immigrant to Canada and always enjoy learning what things were like a century ago without getting a history lesson if you know what I mean. (Murdoch Mysteries style!)
I agree that cinematography is a bit dark at times but I think it reflects aactual nature of the conveyed environment-you didn't exactly have lots of bright lights in illegal establishments.
This show has great cast, writing, directing and I'm excited to see the rest of the season. We need more television like this.
