La série suit l’histoire des porteurs noirs du quartier de la Petite-Bourgogne à Montréal, à l’époque de la prohibition, dans les années 1920.

Visibility doesn’t necessarily equate to progress. A recent UCLA study found that while Black, Latinx, and Asian people were “approaching proportionate representation” as the leads on cable and streaming scripted shows during the 2019-2020 TV season, their numbers were still shamefully scant as writers, directors, and showrunners. Representation isn’t just about having one mirror, but many. It’s about nuance in all aspects of production. The abundance created by streaming has led to some 500 original scripted series premiering each year, many of which allow for greater access to Black experiences. But that impact is wasted without creators who can imbue those stories with intricacy, pulse, and an earned perspective. That is what Black viewers are owed—a heightened, multidirectional portrait of Black life on TV on their terms.
