Ugh, take your star...

Ouch! Blindingly hot take! But you’re probably more right than wrong.

Money is the best glue.

Everyone is so pretty on this show.

This is one hell of a take.

She should get more face time in the 2nd season. Most viewers agree that Joelle’s character was on point.

Yup. I like Joelle a lot.

Joelle deserved more from this first season.

Ratchet ass kids. How you do that to a senior.

That’s not really an accurate depiction of all of Africa. It A.) Has had empires over it (look up Mansa Musa for an example). And B.)
