Oh lord, I hope we’re not in for a season of people bytching every episode because the story/show isn’t doing what they want it to do when they want it to do it. I’ll have to peace out on this thread if it goes that route.

Once people catch up and realize its more of an anthology it'll go away

Norrin you should know better.

It won’t

Only thing I hope does NOT happen is the “White woman is the friend of the Negro” trope. That shyt INFURIATES me that they always try to portray white women as less savage and racist than white men. I hope they’re trying to pull an okie doke with that bullshyt.

The overall acting is incredible.

I’m going to miss Uncle George but it HAD to happen to make room for Montrose and Tic to properly reconcile.

Lots of telling instead of showing, no kind of build up of tension, pacing way too fast, explaining things that should be more fleshed out, cheap deaths, contemporary music overload/inappropriate use of music...they're going to fukk up the potential they have for this show with shytty writing. Seems like a never ending theme with HBO right now. Can someone explain to me why the fukk they're playing Whitey's on the Moon during the most important scene of the series so far? Got damn man whoever was in charge of music and sound for this show really fukked things up with just how mismatch scenes are with musical choices. The music drowns out a lot of the tension and emotion.

Like @Malcolm SeXXX said, the fast pacing is from the book. These are really just a sequence of adventures. Like I said earlier, these 2 eps with all of the craziness is still only about page 50 in the book. The pacing is working so much better in the show...and it's not a tension-filled project. If you're expecting in-depth dramatized character analysis, you're gonna be in for a disappointment. It's a dark comedy, and they're playing up the comedic/satirical aspects heavily.

My question is, Did they actually escape?

The "angry daughter getting revenge on the patriarchal father" seems to be the setup. The character was a dude in the book. We'll see what happens.

Quality drop between first and second episode was crazy wtf

Not going to say the show lost me, but that second episode wasn’t it

Sure but when it comes to race, white people, INCLUDING white women are always on code. A white bytch in the 50’s isn’t going to look at Atticus as a “Man”. She’s going to look at him as a ******. All this “Because your a man you can be in the order” talk just rubs me the wrong way and implies that white women in some way have it “worse” than black men, when we all know that is complete and utter bullshyt

As some familiar with the source material...keep watching. Don't jump to conclusions.
