Damn at the kid

You better hunt him down bass

Bass should have told him, don't pull unless you're shooting

[Black Lightning]

He looks nothing like Bass.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Non-Ados

Might check out

Gotdamn this show is good.

David Oleywu was a HORRIBLE choice. I mean my god he’s diminutive on screen. The opening scene with his eyes bucking in battle killed me. His wife is taller than him.

They are gonna have to flip the switch and make him a short guy with huge balls like Billy the Kid or something very soon.

I could see him playing Nat Love but this ain’t it.


Margot Bingham was DOPE as the Seminole woman, I like that they made them mixed race.

 

[Kuro]

Badass Bass. Anybody read any of the books about Bass? How true is the show?

 

[MikelArteta]

not bad :obamaL

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

I like it but got damn is the music over dramatic. I know it’s a western but that shyt was overbearing af.

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

Holy shyt. I did not expect him to be fighting for the south.

I don't like it but I really appreciate the historical accuracy and illustrating why there were black soldiers on both sides.

Catching the first episode rn, good show so far imo

Not really both sides. The small amount of blacks that “fought” for the south were still enslaved and didn’t have a choice in the matter.

I’m hate watching now. This casting was absurd. Like seriously these CACs are playing in our face. He looks like Webster out here. The Judges guard would have been a better choice.

I think the legend of Bass made some people insecure.

i can see your perspective. Dude is a great fukkin actor, but his wife tall as him. Stature means a lot. Bass was 6'2. Mehcad Brooks looks kinda like Bass and possibly coulda pulled this shyt off. but i'm glad there is a Bass Reeves show.

 

[TripleAgent]

I'll give it a shot due to the subject matter, but all these things where non-FBA people play FBA heroes/icons are routinely ass, so no expectations.
