Washington Black seems ambitious, but isn't entirely convincing. The story of the young slave Wash has power and potential, but the series often loses it due to a messy narrative structure. The jumps in time feel more confusing than exciting, and the pace swings from excruciatingly slow to hastily rushed.

The cast does a solid job. Ernest Kingsley Jr. brings Wash convincingly to life, and Sterling K. Brown exudes warmth, but the weak dialogue and forced romance drag them down. Visually, the series is impressive. The landscapes and costumes look stunning.

Washington Black is beautiful to look at, but its content is unbalanced. A missed opportunity that could have been more than just a beautifully packaged story.
