Interesting. That does make it sorta icky.

Crazy coincidence. I'll give it a read.

No.

???

And the push and pull between Offred's complacency and her mother's revolutionary spirit really informs so much of the story, I think.

Yeah I'm four episodes deep now and Browning is great. I just had really strong associations for Thompson and Parris in the roles of Sam and Coco respectively that I needed to move through.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Yes it's the reviewer who is wrong. … Not the assholes on the Internet.

It's not a funny joke. Or even a joke at all.

I saw it in the theater and I thought it was great!

You're a moron.

I remember laughing a lot at the film—at Sam's radio show and at the movie theater gag in particular. But television is definitely a place where humor has more room to breathe.

I totally thought he was an undergrad.

I'm quite sure anyone saying these things has not actually watched the show nor the film.

Did I miss the review schedule for this show? Does anyone know it?

Well, I just watched episode 2 and there are definitely slight differences in the characterization of Silvio, the newspaper editor, for example. I can't quite read him as the exact same character as the film. It also doesn't really matter.

And, yeah, I'm so glad Tessa Thompson's career has been going so well. (Thank you, Ryan Coogler!) When she appeared in the DWP film, I hadn't seen her since Veronica Mars and now it seems she is on her way to major stardom.

I don't recognize the actress playing Joelle, but I think she is fantastic.

The film certainly exists, but I could see some characters in it basically becoming nonentities in the show. Or some small characterization charges occurring over time in such a way as they feel a little off when you spend a whole season with them and then go back and rewatch the film. But, yeah, I basically agree…

Some very cursory Googling will show that racism is very much alive and well at the Ivies. If you believe otherwise it is because strenuous branding efforts, not eradication of prejudice.
