I was blown away by the first episode. They've been hyping this show for like a year now, so it was going to have to be excellent to meet my expectations, and it exceeded them. Love this show.
^re: blackface......weren't they trying to keep it historically accurate? It's a sad fact that black people were not allowed in many places to even perfom during that time.
^Yes, it was historically accurate. It doesn't make it okay ethically, it's just how the times were. Even women weren't allowed to vote yet, (which I find offensive as well) so they are trying to be accurate.
