i feel conflicted about this. showing racial charged images of violence to viewing audiences and placing it under the guise of entertainment based on historical context (as if the fact that things like slavery happened means any blostered interpretation of them is acceptable) breeds a negative after effect. maybe it's just because i watched the trailer, it's too much hype for me.

very bad writing..
you cant do that without showing the emotion of the character it happened to, you gotta show it actually happening to him..

Man, my team starting to take to many L's. Noah put in some work but I need it to be something bigger than that.

Real talk this series is absolutely PHENOMENAL and it has forced me to take a serious reconsideration of my previously held notion that I was completely and utterly FINISHED with slavery themed stories and depictions within mainstream entertainment.

I love this show. I love the characters. I love the depth. I love that the creators haven't skimped out on showing the true horror of slavery and the complexities of white supremacy that helped contribute to the psychological imprisonment of our people.




Aldis Hodge and Jurnee Smollet are incredible.:salute: Their chemistry is top notch and I'm rooting for them HARD CORE to find freedom and love together.:wow:

I want to see Cato burn and suffer with the same disgusted fury in which I want to see Ramsay from Game Of Thrones catch several Stark Wolf beat downs..:pacspit:


I hope Moses is somehow still alive and the series shows him attempting to find his way back to Boo:mjcry:

Little James got heart AND brains:ohhh: I cheered when he told little Masa Macon to eat a dikk:camby:


Only issues I've had so far is all the over the top shyt with the Abolitionists, they are REALLY going out is their way to make them the "white Saviors" so these Cacs have someone to root for, which is cool in and of itself, but I don't need a whole episode of some crazy escaped slave torturing John JUST to show that "white people suffer too":rudy: and his wife fukking the Deputy to keep Boo safe was :childplease:. It just seems like almost everything regarding their particular storyline is unrealistic to the MAX.

Detective Stabler's ancestor has an intriguing arc going on with his son, I'm very interested in seeing where they go with it.


I'm pouring some juice out tonight for Sam:mjcry: though I felt him running at that particular junction was shoddy writing.

He basically killed Zeke. fukk him. He turned on another brother looking for freedom which is irredeemable. And I'm pretty sure he's going to try to rape Rosalee before its all said and done

Karma is a bytch though. Even though Cato came back at the end when he had a shyt load of money and could have left them..... He did too much dirt to be trusted. But something tell me that fool aint dead. He know how to play c00n to damn well.

The little kid getting stabbed :blessed:

:russ: You wrong for that

This episode was weird and not in a good way. Probably the worst in the entire series.

all that hallucination stuff is corny. Noah and Rosalee getting free was too easy and random. Boo shooting the gun was a bit wtf, and rather than resolve the scene, Rosalee and Noah coincidentally show up. and that acting at the very end where Rosalee is hugging Boo is shoddy as fukk
