I liked it from the get-go, but Episode 4 is where I really sank my teeth in. I'm re-watching all of the episodes for the sake of the AVC reviews as they come out, and damn, that episode is like a seven-layer dip. So much to dissect.

Oh, I get it now! ;)

Actually, I liked his episode, too. And I like that his two white friends became involved with Sam's stuff without making a big production of it. Like it was just, "Cool, we'll be there".
I was ready to cringe through her meeting with them at the coffee shop. I was worried they'd be that stripe of "overly woke" white…

I very much agree about the points you've made about the trend of casting biracial actors (especially women) to tell stories about the black experience. I would however say that the advantage (though I understand that in the grand scheme of things, it isn't much, unfortunately) of DWP is that it's not trying to hide…

She's flawed for sure, but I dunno if I'd call her "terrible". Seems to me as though she's got lots of baggage about being biracial even though she doesn't express it. She certainly has a right to acknowledge and be proud of her black heritage, but when you look at her hosting the radio show, her evasiveness and…

Yup, he loves America's minors…er - I mean MINERS.

What better way to commemorate Trump's first 100 days than to stream a show that pisses off his supporters? Do it!

I think that it makes sense given the type of person Sam likes to carry herself as.

Yup, but liberals are the REAL racists for talking about racism. :)

I think an episode from Rashid's point of view would be really interesting, given his status as an immigrant. He comes from a country where he isn't a minority, and as such, hasn't been subjected to the systemic racism his American peers have been, which I assume is why he seems the most chill about everything going…

Yeah, people who want so see humans progress and live together peacefully and help each other are such losers.

Oh, I don't doubt that. Or they've seen the trailers and assumed that because the lead is a WOC, that suddenly white people are being excluded from the media.

Ugh, I know the comments on glowing reviews of the show by butthurt white people mean nothing, but they're still so infuriating. Calling the show "SJW dreck" (I guess because any show where white people aren't the focus means it's catering to SJWs), "vile, racist, and revoltingly unfunny". The person also said that…

C'est magnifique!

I think that Coco's first episode, Lionel's first, and Reggie's were my favourites. I'm really interested in seeing more flashbacks to Coco and Sam's friendship before it soured, and I'm especially curious to know how Joelle factored into that equation.

This is the first Netflix series I've sat down and binge-watched. I've seen the film as well, but I feel that the series is more immersive and interesting. Given how large the cast is, and how diverse the characters are in terms of their experiences and politics, I think that the story lends itself more to a series…

You can't run a country like a business. Trump was elected into what he presumed was a monarchy, where whatever he says goes. He didn't realize that that's not how a democracy works. He didn't realize he'd have to deal with people telling him "no" for the first time in his life.

Right after he brings back all of the mining jobs.

But toast is delicious!

I don't know whether this counts as a spoiler or not, but I was hoping that we'd get a Rashid-centric episode. I also wanted an episode focusing on Joelle. But if the show is renewed (and it probably will be given the critical reviews and buzz it's creating), I'm sure those will come.
