In the first episode, that unflinching depiction of plantation life might bring to mind Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, but McQueen and Jenkins are very different artists. – Mare of Easttown review: a superb thriller ![]() As she does, a flow of poetic images – a tree blazes with fire or stands stark and bare in the landscape – live alongside occasional depictions of slaves whipped and tortured. The main character, Cora, makes several stops on the railroad's route as she runs from enslavement on a Georgia plantation, pursued obsessively by a slavecatcher named Ridgeway.

Jenkins teases out and emphasises both the book's harsh physical realism and its inventions, shaping them in his distinct style. The visible and the invisible, realism and fantasy, meet in this beautiful and searing series from director Barry Jenkins. The real underground railroad, the historical 19th-Century network of people and safe houses that helped slaves escape, becomes a literal, physical trainline carrying people to safety in Colson Whitehead's novel, on which the show is based. ![]() ![]() The eye is led along a dotted line or insistent painted edge before it ends up in a sumptuous thick build-up of paint, of pattern or of nothingness, akin to the floating world of figures and forms in a Francis Bacon. ![]() Flood's paintings defy easy definition and reward repeated and extended viewing as they slowly yield up their half revealed, half concealed figures and narratives. ![]() Flood has marked himself out as one of the most distinctive and original artists of his generation since he first exhibited in the gallery in 2010.
