I'm on episode 1 for season 4 right now.

Nova blacked out smh but this accurately portrays that gut feeling you have when your doing something wrong. You could see how bad she feels about doing it, forget what other people feel cause they may have their own motive and bias but when your own gut is telling you something is wrong or you're unsure about it that's when you know you're doing the wrong thing.

This show is pretty damn good and this season was better than all the others, I really think it's the best one yet. I binged most of it all today and tbh I'm glad I waited cause I would have been pissed having to wait for the new episode every week.


With that said, Nova's book started all this mess. Reminds me of Prodigy's book :russ: Why can't folks keep their memoirs based on their own life? why they got to be telling people's business in their books :russ: I like the way this season ended though.

I just started watching this joint.... almost done with season 2 now.

When Ernest died with Blue and Ralph Angel by his side :to:

Ralph Angel is immature, but he's tryna do better. Me, I would have torn that letter up and split the land w my sisters, but that's me. Nova has a magical negro feel...hard to feel out. Charley is overbearing and hard to like. However, she is very easy on the eyes :whew: Her and Nova. Hollywood is a solid dude pause. I fukks w the show though

This shyt is infuriating.

A sista on LSA had an interesting theory about Nova and how she's written. She thinks that Nova is an extension or avatar
of the writers, therefore they don't see her being in the wrong or in line for retribution.
The season or show isn't over so we'll see where it goes. But so far, her theory seems to hold water.
Yeah I gave up on this show

They really hammer home the progressive shyt instead of letting it happen naturally

When I had to watch Novas lightskinned son cry for a whole episode cuz he got arrested one time:francis:

Or when Ralph Angel was like my son can play with Barbie dolls when in real life u know damn well it would be different based on who he is

Y'all know I'm a feminist to the bone, but Ava's hyperfeminism is starting to bleed into this show and it's getting on my nerves.

1. Nova's professor. When Nova saw the young girl Jasmine, she commented "you still have a type". Not once was it addressed that the professor was unethical at least and a predator at most. Why - because we're celebrating bisexuality? Because we can't criticize black women? Because that was supposed to be a good thing? There is absolutely no situation where sleeping with your student is anything but unethical, even if that student is over 18. Yet on this show, it's presented as some sexy "older woman" fling. As a feminist and an educator, it disgusted me that this was never touched on, especially since we saw how Octavia manipulated Nova all over again!

2. Hollywood. My dude. Only one person in your marriage should be wearing panties, and I can't figure out who it is anymore. First off, no REAL bruh wouldn't have given Vi an earful for letting her abusive ex-husband into their home. Yes, it was Vi's house, but it was THEIR home. What she did was disrespectful and out of line, especially since Wood had already told that dude to get out of town. You're telling me he didn't even say as much as a "you could've been in danger"? NOTHIN'? Bullshyt! Now we got this moist-ass convo he's having with his boys about how maybe he should have handled that better. fukk OUTTA HEAH WIT DAT BULLshyt, MAYNE. Toxic masculinity is very much a thing that needs to be addressed...but not in this situation.

Wood already see that Vi so fukking silly (no, wait - I mean PTSD!) that she let a man who beat her ass into her house while she was home alone. If Hollywood hadn't put them paws on him, you know what would've happened? Jimmy Dale would've been all up at the diner...all up at the grocery store...suddenly got a need to move back to St. Joe's...you get the idea. Not only did JD deserve that beat down, I would've looked at Hollywood sideeyed if it didn't come to pass. Some dudes only understand one thing.





The worst part was that he *hadn't* just found out. He read all of that and never reached out to her. Unless he just read that book yesterday, there's no excuse. But we're supposed to believe that he was so concerned about her contacting her sponsor? Dude was trash.

What bothers me about Ava is that she lifts up white women too
