Negative Positive
Title: The 'visual' companion piece to the book, "How The Irish Became White" .
Review: I watched the first season after buying COPPER just by reading the premise. This is the bridge of information, history and American cultural progress, given short shrift by the movies like "Far And Away" which although a great movie, neglects much more than it exposes about the Irish/Black experience in the Northeast. Read, "How the Irish Became White" and watch COPPER in that context and see how much riskier COPPER is in it's portrayal and though "stylized" starts to deal with the history of America similar to the book. I only hope the story line does not degrade into "molasses", why does the BBC produce culturally relevant shows while American TV gives us 25 versions of CSI and Law And Order? Cannot wait for Seasons 2-10...
