All that build up over 10 episodes for it to end with a Black Girl Magic punchline and metaphor?

Arguably the best episode and it was all in a different language


only issue I had writing wise is they kind of made it hard to redeem the protagonist. I know we knew he did some stuff he was ashamed of as they alluded to it in prior episodes but we supposed to be rooting for a murderer from now on I’m sure they just are gonna probably never mention it again/ignore it character wise but how we gonna have the “hero” just committing irredeemable acts out here

Yea, it was easily one of the most engaging episodes. Jamie Chung acted her ass off, as well as being some top shelf eye candy.

However, as you said, it makes Tic irredeemable. He was out there committing atrocities on behalf of the white man, and he volunteered himself to do this instead of being drafted. If common sense was at play AT ALL, then Ji-Ah shoulda killed his ass from the jump. That's the giant glaring hole in this episode. The acting was an A+, but the writing...not so much.

My summary of this show: Never explain The Twilight Zone. This show should have followed the anthology template and loosely tied everything together with character cameos and call backs. The moment you try to lore-ify and connect a bunch of disparate sci-fi/horror ideas you're just asking for a mess and that's what this show was.

This show was a task to watch and the only reason i finished is because i thought it would get better. Then they killed off Tic which to me should end this series immediately. I like when black people get a chance to star in fantasy shyt but this show was not good at all.

 

[No Sleep]

It's hard to re watch this.

I'm highly upset with the agenda filled Tulsa episode

total disrespect. Give the Tulsa riots the right kind of care it deserves.

show ended up being nothing more than a advertisement for Demonic witchcraft.

If you want black characters leading stories then sometimes they will be bad, good, problematic, live, die.

You don’t see Jor-el die to save his only son and think he’s a b—-ch character.

Thomas Wayne, Uncle Ben. Strong characters whose deaths are central to their child’s/ nephew’s development.

So you basically just got an prequel story for George Freeman.

That Tulsa episode did everything it could to destroy Black masculinity
I had so many emotions going through me watching that episode. I'm truly disgusted how they did that.

Spoiler: Done with HBO

Another HBO series where the breh dies at the end.

yes they do NOT want masculine blackmen around that's the prevailing thought pushed by these shows.

Maybe im seeing things differently but Tic led the family through everything and sacrificed himself for his son to come through and continue the journey. There was nothing in this series that made Tic seemed less of a man. Yes his dad was gay and abusive but his uncle was a stand up guy. Even the women had their own faults displayed throughout. Im not here to argue but adding my two cents. As far as the Tulsa riots episode, how did it destroy black masculinity?

 

[Tryna Makit]

Glad to see this show getting shytted on proper and nikkas just aint in here high fiving each other talking bout it was great



It was ehhhh at best

 

[Originalman]

I refused to ever watch this show cause I knew it was gonna be some white folks magic anti black male bull shyt.

I was watching a discussion on YouTube and this bull shyt show came up. Someone stated that this show had an episode where they showed that a black man is more privileged than a white woman...

Man fukk this show and fukk HBO. shyt makes me glad I got this broken firestick. I hope Hollywood goes bankrupt cause of covid.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I don't know if I feel sympathy or want to smack y'all nxggas upside the head for continuing to watch this trash.

 

[1thouwow]

How many times you gonna give Jordan Peele a pass for some wack shyt?

So because two teenagers were gay and one abusive father it undermined some agenda?

Nothing about the father protecting his daughter? Two black men trying to protect their homes and a stranger? Beating a group of white thugs? Taking time to read off the names of real businesses burned in the massacre?

I understand that pushing agendas can be a turn off but this black masculinity agenda y’all want pushed seems just as wrongheaded.

Didn't highlight it enough
Plus everyone of those Black men died including the hetero star of the show. Once he died I was done with it
