Has there ever been a dramatic series which featuresd a largely black cast, in a positive light?

 

I don't think the has been, really ever. OZ is one of the best shows ever, probably my #2 drama of all time, but it's hardly complimentary of black people. The closes I can come is The Wire.

wasn't The Wire about two cops after black guys slangin drugs?

 

Sorta, yeah, but the 'black guys slangin drugs' were in many ways sympathetic. It's a very 'shades of grey' show. And at least half the cops/administration were black. Most of the good cops were black, too.

 

I'm just getting into it, but it's a terrific show. Probably because it was created by the guy who wrote Homicide.
