The show sizzled with action, suspense, phenomenal performances, and creative directing. Go to Full Review LaToya Ferguson Entertainment Weekly 08/29/2017

Underground returning on International Women's Day just feels right, because of the past season of strong female characters battling the ultimate adversity. This second season premiere keeps up the good work. Go to Full Review Bethonie Butler Washington Post 03/10/2017
Underground, WGN America's thrilling slavery-era drama, begins its second season Wednesday with a heightened sense of urgency - rooted in the past, but tethered to the present. Go to Full Review Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews 08/09/2019

Underground is sneakily feminist-a bloody, action-packed thriller made refreshing in its use of the female gaze across every episode. Go to Full Review Chelsea Tatham Tampa Bay Times 03/10/2017
It's intense and deeply emotional and consistently sets itself apart from other contemporary works on American slavery. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Seeker Of Truth K 10/08/2023 AMAZING SHOW & ACTORS!!!! A+ See more 07/07/2017 This is such an amazing series, so of course it would be cancelled! It is so compelling a full of amazing acting and writing. I just wish another network will rescue Underground...! See more 05/09/2017 Impeccable story! This series diametrically outlines and fuses the concurrent culture that we see in America. The writers are intelligent and are helping to heal the wounds of our past by telling the TRUTH. Slavery in America was the most brutal institution in the history of the world. The fact that America has and is facing this truth is a testament of its blessings. The writers were smart in making this both entertaining and educational. Great job!! See more 05/01/2017 Really good series it's so sad that the same racist bullshit still goes on today. See more 04/30/2017 Season 2 is not as good as season 1. Episode 6 is the worst episode ever. had to fast forward through most of it. Christopher Meloni is the best character and he has hardly made an appearance. And of coarse Hollywood had to show a slave getting addicted to drugs. Season 2 has been very disappointing. See more 04/17/2017 FINAL EPISODE MAY/10TH...OH LORD!! HELP US CROSS THIS RIVER AND FIGHT THE WAR OF LIBERATION !!!..SEASON 3 WELCOME JOHN BROWN!!! See more Read all reviews
