This is cool

Finished Ep1 of season 2

Another classic season I see

Watched 5 and a half ep at work lol

bobby valentine :dead:

season 1 was big mid except the bank robbery episode. this good?

I need to know this as well

You can tell the budget increased

Give my guy a movie next

its okay, not missing out on anything

I’m over big budget shiny looking social commentary where didactic messaging is put before telling a story that seduces and enchants you, it's putting the cart before the horse

In true stories the themes of social and political injustice reveal themselves naturally but it feels like a lot of young directors and writers are racing to show you how virtuous they are through basic parables

The information and insight can be helpful and informative, but when the messaging becomes the whole purpose of the show it feels hamfisted and obvious instead of compelling me emotionally which is what I want out of art (not political messaging...)

I feel the same way about other shows and movies like Carol and the End of the World, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Sorry To Bother You, there’s a valuable message there, but as art it falls short of resonating with me emotionally when it's first intention is to be a thesis

Not for me

blackberry molasses acapella made me cry

That was...a season of television.

Mid?

It might've went over my head. It had some moments tho.

Vince's mother's character really held the season together for me.

comparisons to atlanta in 5..4..3..

Im 5 eps in. Not mid but also not as good as S1 imo, but also not really trying to be

reading these comments makes me think a lot of yall are media illiterate

She’s a certified menace

Tuning in now

I honestly don't know what this season was trying to say, if anything. Had no idea what was happening to Vince in the finale, show just felt random af

For me, this was heat
