I'm going to give it a shot
With an understanding that spike is too ham fisted for something this current

You are way too close to the subject matter frankly
I felt that on The Wire
Stayed far away not from Baltimore but watched the corner and some of that shit is triggering for me living through east NY in the 70s and Bushwick in the 80s
Same with Narcos w not a single damn Colombian in the cast
Fuck that show frankly

This feels different and I have enough distance from the subject matter
I'm going to try... understanding all of the above
And frankly I still don't blame you
Yes wait until seeing the actual movie but your misgivings are well founded
Satire from within the community is one thing
Spike is not from Chicago
He's an artist w an opinion though so *sigh*

Instead of seeing narcos I went w BSR to see a Doris Salcedo retrospective
She gave much needed perspective on how to address the reality of horrid situations without being a bull in a China shop
Maybe...dunno go check out the theaster gates or an artist you feel understands the issue before seeing this
