These are the problems we (the true critics) saw coming from the first season. Interesting that only now people are starting to notice.

Race-baiting, really?  That has to be lowest I’ve ever seen a writer sink.

I’m, frankly, surprised they haven’t done “Cherry Bomb” yet.

I’ll give you the link Thursday when the new review drops.

Beloved was a work of fiction.

I’ve started writing my own reviews.  The first three drop on my blog on Thursday if you want to get a different perspective than this sunny editorializing.

Excellent! Excellent! I’ve been wanting to do a mash-up like this for months.
