Based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Natalie Baszile, this Ava DuVernay-produced series revolves around the lives of three siblings in rural Louisiana, one of whom unexpectedly inherits an 800-acre sugarcane farm from her late father. The drama is never afraid to tackle issues such as race, class, and gender, and it's also the one of the first TV series in which female directors direct every episode.
