ctrl + f “fracking”

My heart is broken. Aiden, god love her, totally deserved the bottom. Rock should have gone so much farther. Sob.

The first season started promising, but after about four episodes I started to sour on it, and by the end I kind of hated it. (I always loved Mars, though, mostly because of Ramos’s performance.) This confirms my decision to stop watching.

I’m hoping Soju will be brought back later in the season. She was one of my favorites, personality-wise.

Nooooo Soju. That dress was rough, but she’s sweet, I was a fan before she was cast. She’s probably a bit timid for the show, especially in this lively cast. Well, down to one Asian queen. I'm happy fellow Canadian Brooke took home a win. 

Loving my hometown queen Yvie so far, I hope she goes far!

Apparently I have a free preview for History Channel right now, so heck yes I watched Edge murder some jabronies. Quite happy with my choice. Great stuff.

I’ve had no desire to watch since the ham-fisted response-to-Hari-Kondabalu episode a few weeks back, and I really can’t explain why. I’ve been a faithful viewer, and apologist even, thinking that bad “Simpsons” was still better than a lot of other shows. And I had not been worked up over the Apu thing; if they’d…

I am so glad I waited to recommend this to people. Episode 1 was encouraging, and the disjointedness was excusable as a set-up I guess? Plus I think I was just SO eager for a good show with a black, sex-positive, woke, female lead... But yes, it fell right off that cliff and every subsequent episode I find myself more…

...she mentioned Jungle Fever as a positive example in contrast to what’s being done here.

Following these reviews is reminiscent of following the daily reviews for another awful Netflix show most people binged and were annoyed by: Friends from College. In both cases it feels the reviewer has put more thought into the review than the creators of the show did (certainly more than the show deserves), and it…

I took my cue from the reviewer but you’re right - she is actually Jamaican.

I hate to chalk this up to age but Spike Lee seems not to really grasp what polyamory means in 2017.

The reviewers whole point is that even IF the show is trying to say that “what you want might not always be what you need” it is IDIOTIC to be making this point with an Afro-latina single mom from the projects.

This was the episode that really disappointed me. The whole Shemekka story line is uninvolving and would be an addition by subtraction. The time spent there could be much better served just about anywhere else. I agree that the interaction with the cab driver was unfunny and completely off base. Ditto the…

“There is no need for a predominately Black cast and crew to rely on vaguely Indian or Middle Eastern caricatures for a cheap laugh.”

I hate to keep pointing this out, but “tonally out of place” is Spike Lee’s fucking calling card.

Once I saw ‘D+’ I just knew this had to be a review for that episode with the exploding butt. I forgot until reading this review that is the also the episode with the creepy white dude at the art gallery. With those two things combined, a D+ is too generous.

I’m honestly laughing my ass off, because this is the most ridiculously wide gap between the pre-air review of something on this site and the actual reviews that I’ve seen in a long time. Did Ashley Ray Harris only watch the pilot or something? That first episode was genuinely good (the only episode of this show that…

Favorite Martin Prince moment?
When Bart runs for class president. Both have the A Vote for Bart is a Vote for Anarchy signs, and, in a moment that perfectly incapsulates the modern rabble-rousing against helping the unemployed and environment: More asbestos! More asbestos!
(Granted those are largely Bart moments, but…
