Don't let the low rating fool you - this show is a hidden gem! I was hooked from the get-go with a story that just pulls you right in. The whole mystery surrounding Covey's disappearance back in the '60s and how it ties up with the present-day drama is nothing short of engaging.
Now, if you're a softie, be warned - the score is an emotional rollercoaster, and it's setting you up for some serious handkerchief moments in the episodes to come.
I have to give props to the creators for the attention to detail in recreating the era. It's clear they went the extra mile to get the setting just right. And oh, the performances! Mia Isaac truly shines, but I must say, at times Adrienne Warren's theatrical flair felt a bit too much amidst the subtler scenes.
But hey, the blending of family drama with a murder mystery is done so well. The show doesn't just scratch the surface but delves deep into issues of identity and family ties, all while keeping you on the edge of your seat with the mystery at hand. 'Black Cake' is definitely worth a watch,
