At the start of episode 2 and so far i’m extremely disappointed that

This seems to be a black misandrist’s dream. A black woman traversing the world killing all the black men who’ve hurt her feelings. I’m hoping this isn’t going to be the overall theme of the series but the subtle messaging is rubbing me the wrong way.

It's cool

A darker Atlanta

Main character crazy as hell but I found myself sympathizing with her...kudos to the actress and writing

With the main narrator being unreliable dont know what's real or imagined

3 eps in, overall decent watch so far

dominique fishback is a good actress tho.

Iight yall know I love Donald to death but :whoa:

He lowkey be on some Tyler Perry Colorism sht. We can make a checklist about it.

I’m like wow Glover brother’s making a production not fronted by a light skinned woman :leon: then I got to ep 2 and what’s happening? Guess who got the most lines and screen time? Even made a joke about her being whitepassing :beli:

Very early and I don’t have all my thoughts worked out yet but Darkskin Idris being a piece of sht cheater too? :stopitslime:

one day imma do a deep dive on my man’s.

Sht fie tho :myman:

Said it in another thread but yeah

Wouldn't even say it's about shaming stans and stan culture

Story is ultimately about a mentally disturbed woman who struggles with codependency issues

The most important person in her life loved Ni'ja (B) and that was how they bonded

I knew there was a reason I skipped this.

She killed a white woman and man by the 2nd ep if that makes it better
