It?s rather befuddling when something as progressive as a female-directed cable drama with a diverse cast can feel so familiar. After all, one of the most appealing artistic aspects of hearing from voices not belonging to the middle-aged white men dominating our entertainment culture is that we?ll be exposed to perspectives unfamiliar to our own.
shareI loved it.
TWD- The worst season finale ever. Never mind- Sleepy Hollow was worse.
I enjoyed it immensely! I like that slow purposeful direction. It reminds me of TREME. if it can be on that level for 4-5 seasons it is all good with me. The actors who play the siblings are superb. Ralph Angel is gorgeous!!! Lawd.
shareAgree on the direction & I see the potential to reach Tremé's level. Right now, I think it's a tad too flat and melodramatic.
Let's see if it's a soap opera or a character drama as soon as the siblings have settled on the farm and the show has found its main narrative there.
My take: it's the better version of 'This is us' at this point.
I feel the same way to a point. Mostly with the storylines of Charley and the lack there of when it comes to Nova. However, I feel with the way Black men are being handled emotionally, you can see the influence of the women who are in control of this show.
They have the usual network TV drama many crave, your usual muscle bound men, but rather than make them cold and heartless, they make them vulnerable and emotional. Especially when their kids are involved. Which, to me, is the main thing this show does different which makes it stand out from the rest.
Though, I have to admit, I find it weird how the women get the short end of the stick.

Hey, I'm open to suggestions, but I'm really tired of unfunny black ghetto humor, people holding their crotches, speaking unintelligible dialect with every other word "mother f_cker". Get real.
Such a troll right. I came here to shed my frustrations with the show so far. I'm just hating the lack of definitive progress. I'm a flake sometimes but even I make faster moves than this show is right now. I want to like but GD I agree with the OP on this one
