Washington Black (Hulu, Wednesday, 12:01 a.m.)
In this historical-fantasy saga, 11-year-old George “Wash” Black (Eddie Karanja) flees from the Barbados sugar plantation he was born on to go on globe-trotting adventure. As an adult, Wash (Ernest Kingsley Jr.) settles into a Nova Scotia community and befriends its leader. Sterling K. Brown, Tom Ellis, Shaunette Wilson, and Edward Bluemel co-star. The A.V. Club‘s review publishes Monday.
