So basically Amazon will be competing with themselves at the Emmys for limited series?
Small Axe versus Underground Railroad.

[sabihakermalli]

you're kidding I'm literally doing an english project on this book RN

[jonathanhoose]

This book was so intense I had to skip to the last page and somewhat ruin the ending to catch my breath 😩. It was fantastic and heartbreaking and anxiety inducing lol. I can only imagine watching it.

[mikewalters]

For only 35 seconds, it looks very promising

[witchplease]

This is one of my favorite historical fantasy books ever, especially since it’s centered on Black history! Barry Jenkins is exactly the director to bring this to life so I’m really excited

[FrankOakleyTheThird]

Extremely grateful for this piece! Can’t wait to see it May 14th! 💯🙏🏾🔥👀

[Reincarnation]

Saw Colson on 60 Minutes a few days ago and was impressed. I can't wait to see this film but sad that it's too soon for me to go to an actual theater.

[tashadee]

Whew! I hate how Caesar and Royal both were taken from Cora. I just hope she doesn’t get caught anymore now that he’s dead lol. She was running all Season 1 and getting captured lol

[jamesconley]

Colson Whitehead's book was amazing! Can't wait to see how the Moonlight director puts his spin on it.

[RoboWatchgirl]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to release this in February?
