Underground Railroad Amazon Prime Video

The Underground Railroad is a show by the filmmaker Barry Jenkins and has an exquisite, dreamy, and semi-exhausting 10 part adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. However, it is not exactly a binge-watch since most of the episodes are over an hour and the series doesn’t have a “momentum” since it is deepening the air of tragedy.

After escaping a Georgia plantation, Cora boards on a train which embarks her on a trip where she seeks true freedom, but that’s not easy as she is also being hunted by a notorious slave catcher. The series is filled with unforgettable imagery- landscapes. The series is not exactly an easy watch, but the series is definitely an unforgettable one, which you might not wanna miss.
