scary how that felt like a real ad campaign too


My favorite part of the episode was Darius

The amount of pain he felt when he saw the restaurant was closed was a new side of him.
The restaurant scene made his nigerian roots real to the viewer, something that always seemed light hearted before. Daruis' connection is already exposed as weak in the resturaunt. To see the restaurant shut down was like severing this connection. Darius hold few things truly dear. Things to him are fleeting and unreal. His nigerian roots are the only thing that grounds him, his anchor. And this white lady physically and emotionally gutted it.


Also, it hit close hearing him call the restaurant lady "Auntie." Because that's what we do in my own culture with women who aint family, but are familiar
