Facts…

these coli nikkas some uncultured fags

I read the book before I knew it was going to be a series, and I've been rooting for black shows of sci-fi/fantasy for decades. That's my favorite genre.

This ish was trash. But then again, the book wasn't good to begin with. This is an example of a show trying to do entirely too much. There was already plenty enough to tell a compelling story, before they added 3x the amount for each character.

I don't get the comments about the haphazard writing. Everything came together at the end, and everything mattered to the overall story.
I hate that we're not getting Hyppolita & Diana's adventures in Season 2.

If it ain’t “The Wire” “Power” or some bland coming of age story about some cac in Minnesota, it’s pretty much dead in the water.

Wasn't the book written by a White guy anyway?





I get the shyt was flawed and it may have been out there for some people…..


But I feel like there have been countless white shows like this for years that never got this same criticism and got way more than a season.

I enjoyed just seeing black people play roles that normally have been reserved for white cast with this show

This show alone for a lot of people really put JMajors, JSmollet, and WMosaku on the map

and they're clearly onto bigger and better things.

This show really ruined Micheal K Williams mental health and allegedly led to his drug relapse.

Is this really that deep? Is it worth watching? :patrice:

I heard it started off good, but then went really left with the writing. Is this a good watch?

Nah this shyt is trash. I really hope this show wasn’t really what pushed him to drug use. This show uses black trauma porn to mask subpar storytelling.

MKW was not acting at all in certain scenes
He was going through some stuff for real and you could see it in his face

So are you saying it was amazing acting or just plain disturbing? :patrice:
