Underground (WGN America) – Starts 9th March – Renewed
Set on a plantation in Georgia in 1857, a group of the slave labourers are plotting on making the 600 mile journey to the north to become freemen.
As well as the slaves trying to make their break to freedom, it also follows a bounty hunter who catches any runaway slaves by befriending them and a human rights chap who after failing in trying to garner attention in abolishing slavery is approached to help on the underground ground railway.
Ignoring the modern soundtrack that takes you out of the period it’s in, it’s a good watch.
