The series depicts the history of Black Canadian and African-American men who worked as Pullman porters in the period following World War I, leading to the 1925 creation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters as the first Black-led labour union.[8][5] Much of the setting for the series is the St. Antoine neighborhood a Black community of Montreal.[9]

It's pretty decent. The main criticism I'm seeing online is that it was too Canadian.
