At the start of episode 2 and so far i’m extremely disappointed that

This seems to be a black misandrist’s dream. A black woman traversing the world killing all the black men who’ve hurt her feelings. I’m hoping this isn’t going to be the overall theme of the series but the subtle messaging is rubbing me the wrong way.

literally no black man in this is worth a damn lmfao

The first shot of Damson in this is him clapping cheeks like his soul depended on it. :mjlol:That shyt was wild as fukk to see after witnessing how cold he was in the latest Snowfall episode.:dead:

Atlanta was called black Twin Peaks and this show feels like an extension of that surreal, yet oddly truthful world. Makes me wonder what other stories they got in the vault that is unseen to the public. Donald’s team got me wishing they took on that Candyman requel from years back. No shade to DaCosta either but they probably would’ve killed it.

Just finished it

@Busby you were right, it wasn’t what I feared.

I think they should have switched the order of episode 6 & 7 but overall this was a pretty entertaining watch.

I usually don’t fukk with “crazy serial killer” type shows, never been my cup of tea. But I like a lot of what they did here incorporating black culture into this type of genre. There were some scenes that I found particularly disturbing as again, i’m not a fan of the particular genre but there’s enough here that i’d fukk with a second season.

8/10

Dominique Fishback is the MVP of the series and deserves an Emmy nom
