As someone who has seen his fair share of projects surrounding the dark history of the African slave trade, I was admittedly on the fence heading into Washington Black.
On one hand, it has the backing of Emmy-winning Sterling K. Brown, who both stars in and produces the new drama. I’ve been a fan of his since Lifetime’s Army Wives, and from that point on, he’s seldom disappointed in the projects he attaches himself to. His drama Paradise was released earlier this year and was a smash hit.
