There are many great shows out there, but Underground is something audiences can’t afford to miss out on. It tells the story of a group of slaves trying to escape through the stations of the Underground Railroad. It shows their struggle along with the abolitionists that try to help them. So why is this show so good? Here are eight reasons you need to binge watch and catch up!
1. The costumes are a feast for your eyes
If you’re a sucker for gowns, hats, and suits then you’ll definitely enjoy this show. It has the beauty of the costumes in Outlander, but also brings on the realistic grit of the less privileged characters.
2. The story is seriously inspirational
Many might rule out the show for being too depressing since it’s about slavery. But the show is about these characters keeping their humanity during a time where that is forbidden for them. The show has just as many inspirational moments as heartbreaking ones.
3. The chemistry between Rosalee and Noah will make you ship them forever
They both might be slaves, but they still were raised very differently. Their differences makes them stronger and their romance is something you’ll never get enough of.
4. Christopher Meloni shirtless is always a selling point
His character might not be 100% likable, but his body will never be a turn off. Luckily the show knows this and pretty much gets him to take off his shirt every chance they get. So get your fix of the hot actor and get an awesome story out of watching the show.
5. Even the simple dialogue will hit you in the gut
The show is not only worth a watch, but multiple watches. There is so much meaning behind every line that you will certainly miss something the first time around.
6. Every actor brings their A game, including the child actors
The show tries to get every aspect of slavery right. That includes the children of slaves and slave masters who are born innocent, but are raised to learn the dark side of life. The child actors handle this complicated story beautifully.
7. All of the characters are very complicated, which makes things interesting
Even the “good” characters have skeletons in their closet, which will make things less black and white. This not only makes things interesting, but realistic to how humans are.
8. You’ll regret not watching it once the show gets all the awards during award season
This show will rightfully win all of the awards so don’t catch a case of FOMO. Watch it all now so you will be in on the magic later.
