I would normally give this an 8, but to counteract the inevitable low scores that any shows with black leads garner, I gave it a couple of extra. The story was good, the cinematography was great and the acting was excellent. Some of the story about the kids seemed to slow it down a little, but it did help to flesh out their characters. The lead actress was phenomenal and hopefully will have a lot of work in the future. I hope that a second season is in the works, there could be a lot more of the story about Mabel going forward. I would like to see more on this kind of drama make it to the air to offset the constant slave time stories.
