HBO has 'Confederate' and Amazon has 'Black America'
Both Alt-History Dramas with the same subjects and setting BUT--
the HBO one is about when the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution.
And the Amazon version envisions an alternate history where newly freed African Americans have secured the Southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
What do you guys think? Are they the same? Will they compete? Will HBO drop theirs since Amazon has had theirs in the works for a year?
I smell some serious competition coming.
