Rating of seasons and episodes The Underground Railroad (2021)

The second episode is close to a masterpiece, to be honest. Barry recreates the atmosphere of Pilovsky Park, of course, superbly. Only here it is no longer the home of one family, but the whole city of disgusting racist hypocrites, frightening almost to the point of nightmares. It gets really scary from this series. At the same time, I am again amazed at how beautifully it was filmed and how beauty coexists with this horror that is happening. And Cora's farewell to Caesar turned out to be incredibly sad.
And yes, Edgerton is amazing.

that's how you look at the attitude towards slaves and realize that in the United States they found an excuse, albeit the wrong one, for such things in the form of skin color
, but in Russia they were absolutely considered dogs, sold, separated families and bullied
, and you're amazed at how cruel a person could be
, and what could he do now cruel

Jenkins never ceases to delight. These close-ups, this music and camera work❤️❤️❤

So, so far, so good. Although I didn't expect anything else from Jenkins. It's unlikely to be a Moonlight-level masterpiece (after all, even its author won't be able to recreate the beauty of that movie again), but my expectations are huge. It's understandable: such a difficult story in the hands of one of America's most talented creators can be monumental. The first episode sets the tone and is already catchy. Especially the shot, as if from the burning side, is delightfully contrived. I feel like it's going to be very scary and very fascinating to watch.

The series has a very depressing atmosphere, the only time before it was so hard to watch Chernobyl. Excellent directing (production at an incredible level), cinematography, screenwriting and acting.
