I just finished the season. I didn't care much about the last episode, I kinda feel like Spike Lee jumped the shark a lil' bit on that. That said, I like how he further explored all the characters in more depth than from the original film. Nola, is indeed someone who has identity issues, and the artist critic, more than anybody, pretty much exposed that when he criticized her artwork. She does not know who she is, but pretends that she does and is way too selfish to acknowledge that the problem is HER. Even in the end when she thought she had it together and claim so-called openess, she is still shallow and not true to who SHE is, but what she think she is. It's almost hypocritical for her to assume that her "men" views her a certain way when it's really the opposite. She view them a certain way, a certain caricature, when they are more complex than what they appear to be from the 1st episode. Especially with Jaime when you really un-peel layers to who this person is and his background. I think Nola is at her weakest with Opal and is the X-factor, but uses her no different than she abuses the men. Which leads to the men as well as Opal and the ONE THING I take issue with this. They know what Nola is about, but it's almost as if they're addicted to her no matter how shallow and foul she tends to be. Even Nola's best friend/former roommate knows this yet some how be on her side. It is heavily implied that Nola saw what her former roommate had with Mars and stole him because of that. And it bewilders me how her friend and Mars can be okay of what Nola done to them. All of them were done dirty by Nola or been used or manipulated and Nola somehow cast a spell for all of them to be obsessed over her....Opal included.
thats like letting a dentist with bad teeth take care your teeth 
cant believe ole girl went through with it.
