Renata's most heinous crime is naming that child Ammabella and she deserves anything coming to her. Off with her head!

This is a great point. Yes, there were structural issues screwing them over. But they were also terrible people who were hated and feared for real reasons.

The reviewer criticizing that the show portrayed Albert as a "white savior" when that particular anti-slavery movement was founded, funded and promoted by white people, seems a little like just looking for reasons to be upset. They recruited Albert, who they presumedly knew was white, as their patron precisely to add…

There was a second dossier labeled Belardo in the safety deposit box. I wonder if there's more in there or it was just bad/confusing art direction

I went to Catholic school in Latin America and most of the teachers were Spanish priests. He looks exactly like pretty much all of them.

Now that would be a miracle!

That's interesting. I saw it as a parallel to Gutierrez story of leaving confining yet reassuring cloistered spaces. The Vatican for Gutierrez, the hotel for Gilbert Grape's Mom

I totally agree that the New York episode didn't make much sense, either within the larger story or its standalone logic. If liquor store kid had already been molested, why didn't that tape surface before. But if he went along with Gutierrez' idea to lead Kurtwell on and finish the deed, doesn't that make Gutierrez…

Leave joshua Jackson's toned, muscular, manly arms out of this. Maybe he could develop a detergent allergy that renders him unable to wear clothes?

Oh man, yes! I just commented on that above. The show needs to stop making sexy Tom Hughes a thing. The guy who plays Ernst is way hotter and has double the charisma.

The show keeps trying to make us buy Tom Hughes as some paragon of hotness. But I just don't see it. I keep wanting to give him a haircut and feed him some carbs.

It also seemed that he was expected to cover the costs of his own staff, but i may had misunderstood

They explicitly named checked San Pedro Sula, Honduras yet the one they showed looks suspiciously like a Cinecitta backlot, the actors look like Southern Europeans extras, and the narco murder plot is pretty hackneyed —nevermind the sweaty sex in a grass hut scene. So don't know if Hondurans should've been more or…

A Zamunda-Young Pope mashup would be magical

Ceci n'est pas un pope

It's so ridiculous I had to google it. And lo and behold it is even more ridiculous than I even thought it could be:
"David Meads, known professionally as Scroobius Pip, is an English spoken word poet and hip hop recording artist from Stanford-le-Hope, Essex"

This needs less talking and more naked Hardying. They spent all that money on the body makeup, now get something out of it.

Or a cassock lifter, as the case may be.

I hope they manage to work in a Hand of God reference with the Maradona storyline.

I love how they work in humor into what could be a very pretentious show—it creates a wonderful tone. The ongoing Maradona jokes are awesome
