The Good Lord Bird was every bit as good the reviews said it would be. It is such a powerful story about a newly freed teenager who joins abolitionist John Brown (Ethan Hawke) on a holy crusade to end slavery. They encounter great historical figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Truman along the way. It's a story that everyone should know. It shines a spotlight on racial, religious and gender roles that have made up America. The one thing I wasn't expecting from this was the humor throughout the series, it just makes the show that much better. Ethan Hawke is amazing here as always and was nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe for his performance!
