[TheGreatShowtime]

With that 90s cut, Mahershala Ali is Wesley Snipes doppelganger

That scene in the car was great....from Hayes basically telling West he should've used his white privilege to change their minds....to West being confused, because he's white but obviously not on the same level as the people they were arguing with. So he had no power to change anything.

Great writing.

Fred.

he was legit disgusted at him even suggesting the notion of white privilege lol, solid acting....

1st esp was really good. 2nd was just ok.


I really like Ali as an actor. Hes doing a good job.

Just saw the first episode



-The only thing I just hope this isn't a carbon copy of season 1

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Maybe I am tired but both episodes were boring as fukk.

I have not read one comment in this thread, but I am assuming it is taking the story line from the Memphis three.

I will still watch though because I like Marshala Ali.


ETA: OMFG brehs writing dissertations and shyt.


This show had one of pet peeves that I fukken hate about American tv. Every time a black actor is the lead, his color/ethnic background has to be part of the dialogue.

This is why I love British tv, a black actor can be the lead, and they don't reference his blackness.


ETA: The Scout handbook, again another kind of reference to the Memphis three, all three of the victims were in Scouts.

They have lightly touched on race so far and it is relevant. I don't know how that would be avoidable. It's not a focal point. Britain isn't America, different culture and different society..

The conversation in the second episode about "tribe" was some real shyt and it doesn't detract from the show at all.

Mahershala on the finale episode, skip to the 2:50 mark: (no spoilers)



We might have a classic on our hands

Yes....

You said it best Britain culture ain’t like American culture or society’s.

I have a friend from the UK and when he comes to town we always have these great discussions about what it’s like being Black in America and Black in England and it’s always mind blowing to him when I drop knowledge to him

Have you ever lived in America as a black man? When's the last time you went a week without your blackness being referenced?

Especially in rural fukking Arkansas
