Underground (2016-2017)

Lower tier basic cable networks have had a renaissance recently in terms of original programming, and WGN America’s historical drama Underground is one of the best, shining examples of why. It premiered in 2016 and it tells the story (or at least a story) about the Underground Railroad, how it came to be, the people involved, and how things ended up playing out.

It’s not the most fun subject matter in the world, sure, but the show still manages to keep things pretty damn sexy, especially considering the fact that, being on WGN America, they can’t exactly utilize any full frontal. They can mostly just have all the hot dudes on the show take their shirts off for long stretches of time, so that’s exactly what they do: Christopher Meloni and Marc Blucas take off their tops in a handful of scenes, as do Aldis Hodge and Theodus Crane. The latter two, however, also take things up a notch by showing the camera their magnificent asses in two scenes.
