  • Critic Reviews of "Roots - Season 1 (2016)"

    Financial Times
    April 25, 2017

    Highlights -- a queasy word to use here -- include a revolt on the slave ship and the flogging of Kinte to make him acknowledge his new English name.

    Daily Telegraph (UK)
    February 09, 2017

    As Kunta/Toby, Malachi Kirby has a magnetic presence and brilliantly negotiates the transition from foolish young pup to stern rebel who makes his bid for freedom on a white charger. He's the most compelling reason to keep faith with this new adaptation.

    Daily Telegraph (UK)
    May 31, 2016

    Whether you're a proponent or a critic of the new Roots, it's unlikely you'll quickly shake the image of Malachi Kirby's burning rage-filled eyes.

    St. Louis Post-Dispatch
    May 30, 2016

    Just as the original Roots had a powerful emotional impact on Americans, the new one is likely to do so as well, especially given that questions of race are at the forefront of discussion as much now as ever.

    The Atlantic
    May 30, 2016

    The new series brings new light to the misperception that popular culture has done a good job telling stories about slavery and black history in the decades since Roots first gripped the U.S.

    Slate
    May 27, 2016

    Roots reminds us, as the first did, that their long fight to be free is the most American story of all.

    The Arts Desk
    April 04, 2017

    For the viewers, and how much more so for the actors involved, the knowledge of that past only heightens the involvement in this nuanced and poetic telling of America's (and Britain's) most shameful history.

    The Blu Spot
    August 22, 2016

    This new adaptation of Roots may have a fair amount of downtime throughout its six and a half hours, but it rises on the strengths of its emotionally powerful narrative and outstanding cast, making this a version that does justice to its source material.

    ScreenRant
    May 31, 2016

    The effort put forth by the writers, actors, and filmmakers have updated and reimagined the miniseries to be a powerful reminder of the past and how stories like Roots deserve to be retold.

    We Got This Covered
    May 30, 2016

    Indispensable, infuriating, and inspiring, Roots masterfully finds the hope and humanity in its heartbreaking, harrowing depiction of slavery, and in doing so provides an update worthy of the original.
