Agenda heavy!! Who’s behind this show?

Isitealies and rich nigerians (prolly raised in London) who think they Isitrealies I would suspect.

Never heard of that slur, but I also doubt this show will make it. From the previews it's just cringe all around and they make the Nigerian woman look so mean and low. So let me guess once she starts dating him, she becomes happier?

While Abishola's instincts tell her to remain cautious of Bob's interest, her girlfriends at the hospital are as tickled about the courtship as her aunt and uncle. In one eye-opening lunchtime scene, they discuss the ethnic hierarchy of who Abishola would choose to marry. As her spunky busybody friend Kemi (Gina Yashere) explains, "Top of the list, Nigerian man — same tribe (Yoruba). Then, Nigerian man — different tribe (Igbo). Then, other Africans (except Tunisians and Egyptians). Obviously. Then Caribbean. Then white. Then African American."

Their other friend, a black woman named Gloria (Vernee Watson), takes offense to this, starting a hot-button debate between the two of them about anti-black propaganda. Interestingly, it's not the first time the series alludes to cultural mistrust between black Americans and African immigrants, reminding the audience that people of African descent aren't a monolithic group. I'm curious how the series will go on to explore this, though I'm wary that by continuously highlighting the friction between these two groups, the series will by default become a platform for denigrating black Americans.

Co-created by British comedian Yashere, whose parents immigrated to England from Nigeria before she was born, Bob Hearts Abishola isn't afraid to cling to cultural authenticity. Characters carry on conversations about preparing stockfish and pounded yam and pepper their dialogue with non-English words. I won't claim the show is going to solve anti-immigrant sentiment or represent the entirety of the immigrant experience in America, but so far it's pleasant, detailed and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.

Nah we need to get this shyt off the air asap


Edit: was on twitter and Facebook a whole ados vs acl tweet popped off. I'm being serious when I say this show should not make it halfway to season 1.
