Unlike the Bobby Brown New Edition mini-series, American Soul doesn’t look or sound very special. Sure, it’s fun to witness the roots Soul Train, a landmark and groundbreaking  show. There are moments when the recreated songs come to life but they are abbreviated and don’t rise to the level what we’ve come to expect from bio-pics. And as one reviewer mentioned, this may be the best we can ask for.
