Review of Roots

Roots (2016)
10/10
Amazing just purely amazing
6 March 2017
This has just aired on the BBC in the UK and I've watched all four episodes over the last couple of evenings where I purely found it by chance.

I remember the original series way back many years ago and loved it then. This adaption is purely amazing. You are placed right in the scene of the families who were the slaves. It is never nice to imagine what happened but this is such an eye opener as to how life would have been and I'm sure that the worst was never covered.

If you are someone who likes these types of historical programs with possibly a fictional side then this will be perfect for you.

With it all finished it just makes you realise how lucky we are in this world today were we worry about such petty things like what to cook for tea or the TV is playing up. Such simple things we take for granted .
