Watched this week's episode yesterday, and they're losing me rapidly.
My original thought that these episodes were written in early to mid 2020 and not touched since seems like it's right, and Gabe me another (probably problematic) thought: Not every black show needs to try to address current issues. Because this was obviously meant to be the George Floyd episode, but I don't really know what, if anything, this added to the conversation, or what eyes it's supposed to open.
It also adds to the tonal whiplash this show has. We got Mercedes and the coach's wife getting it in right next to dikksucking Stripper having a moment over her brother getting killed, and Lightskinned Prison Breh clearly having a PTSD episode that gets resolved by getting his cheeks clapped. The fukk?
And people can stop trying to act like they have theories about Big Bone. This show is as subtle as a brick to the face. Ol' girl is definitely there to snoop on the Pynk for some late season revelation of a threat, via information she gets out of Diamond, since she's figured out all the women there can't stop talking about him.
Also, shout out to them wanting the audience to be completely fine with Andre and Diamond getting together, and just writing their way backwards from there. We learned more about his relationship with his wife in a two minute scene than we did in the previous eleven episodes combined. Ol' boy that she was cheating with got a throwaway backstory in the span of five lines of dialogue
