FX’s Kindred shouldn’t feel like just another uninspired prestige slave narrative, but it does.
— a novel that blends elements of genre and historical fiction to illustrate some of the harshest realities about the antebellum South — was first published in 1979, there were no other books like it. Through fantasy, Butler challenged her readers to understand the US’s history of enslaving Black people as a horrific, foundational part of its identity whose long-lasting impacts continue to reverberate across time and space.
Butler’s book was a novel revelation for its time that gave people a blueprint for how science fiction could be used to navigate the subtle complexities of something like anti-Black racism in America. But all throughout its first season, FX’sfeels trapped in the shadow of its source material and unsure of how to find its way out — two modes that often make the entire series seem like it might have been better off as a feature-length film.
The only person in Dana’s new city who seems capable of understanding that she knows her own mind and how to ask for what she wants is a white music-loving waiter named Kevin , whose awkward charms only barely convince her to go out on a date with him. But Dana and Kevin suddenly become much, much more to one another one fateful night when she spontaneously vanishes from her living room in 2015 and finds herself somehow transported across space and time to a 19th-century plantation in Maryland.
