The Good Lord Bird (Showtime) -- limited series -- S: Ethan Hawke
THE GOOD LORD BIRD, starring Oscar(R) nominee Ethan Hawke as John Brown and Joshua Caleb Johnson, will premiere on Sunday, October 4 at 9 p.m. Based upon the National Book Award-winning novel by James McBride, THE GOOD LORD BIRD is told from the point of view of Onion (Johnson), a fictional enslaved boy who becomes a member of Brown's motley family of abolitionist soldiers and eventually finds himself participating in the famous 1859 raid at Harpers Ferry. THE GOOD LORD BIRD uniquely and unpredictably spotlights the complicated racial, religious and gender roles that make up the American identity.

Wife wanted to watch this and I joined. I had no idea what it was about going in. I don't know if I'll continue to watch after the first episode but holy shit does Hawke do an amazing job with this character.

Yea... I’m a big fan of Hawke. He is fantastic on this.
Also nice seeing him and Coltrane play father and son again.

Its okay (so far), altho the religious stuff is a bit over the top for me (I'm an Atheist).

This show is incredibly entertaining. Three episodes and not a boring moment.

I haven't watched the the latest episode yet, but the the show drags whenever Hawke is off screen.

It is fun to watch an actor go this big and pull it off. I don’t think this needed to be a 7 episodes series though. I’m ready to move on.

I lost interest after the first episode. Interesting story, but there was way too much ranting and yelling for me.
