The show got a lot of critical acclamation from viewers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The plot of Underground centers the life of a group of African American people, who plan to make a bold 600 mile run away from a plantation. It is a thrilling escape through an Underground Railroad system, which involves evading people in charge of finding them with the aid of secret abolitionist couple.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dish Network\u2019s decision to not air the show has been criticized by the channel and the members of the show, which drew serious attention from viewers and organizations all across the country. However, Dish Network remained firm on their decision, which caused a huge decline in subscribers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Underground, which has African American people in their lead roles, has been a revolutionary new show portraying underground railroads of the American history. The show has a great importance as there has always been rising tension between the two groups in the US.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_750\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-750\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-750\" class=\"wp-image-750 size-medium\" title=\"Dish Network\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dish-Network-Channels-1-e1467896370102-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"Dish Network Channels\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dish-Network-Channels-1-e1467896370102-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dish-Network-Channels-1-e1467896370102.jpg 509w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-750\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Popular Channels<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Black people centered plots are quite rare in the TV industry and this great leap could have brought an awareness on the important role played by the African American people in bringing the country forward from a master slave society to that of an equal valued one.
