This is a very good TV series, it's extremely well done, the production values are amazing, the direction as usual for McQueen is excellent, however it is a difficult series to watch, it's painful, it's truthful, and the truth hurts. The fact that Britain has an incredibly long history of institutional racism and racism from the top to the bottom of society is no secret, and this show really gives you a sense of what it's like to be on the other side of that spectacular ignorance and hatred.
