Based on: The Good Lord Bird by James McBride

Review: "The Good Lord Bird" is a phenomenal show that expertly combines humor, intrigue, and heartbreak. Through its masterful approach to a tough historical topic, the series manages to entertain and inform, leaving viewers craving for more while also delivering a poignant narrative that reflects on our nation's tragic past. The stellar performances, especially from Ethan Hawke and Joshua Caleb Johnson, elevate the storytelling to a level of genuine artistry, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking authentic acting and a deep dive into pre-Civil War history.

Love John Brown.

He was a righteous man at the right time, showing others that only through actions and force could slavery be defeated. But he also was nuts, like a squirrel in mating season.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

For him this verse was not a nice story it was manual.

I absolutely loved the book and keep meaning to watch the mini-series.

This was a good watch. Loved seeing the totally mad unhinged performance by Ethan Hawke

He's also showrunner, so nobody could stop him 😊

It's a good movie. Currently teaching John Brown and wish I could show this.

I watched this series after I visited Harper’s Ferry last summer!! I really enjoyed it and thought the performances were amazing.

Is this good? I started the first episode and even in that little bit, enjoyed the performances, but never felt compelled to return to it

It`s good but you need specific mood for it :)

I’ll wait for it to strike then, tyyy☺️
