Great show.

Liked the movie, love the series.

So well-balanced in its execution

To the point that I'm surprised it's not being talked about in the same vein as Atlanta or Insecure. It goes way deeper than the movie and I love how honest it presents the the relationship between how we chose to own our blackness and the perception of that blackness to onlookers. My favorite character is Coco. I loved her in the movie too.I've never seen the representation of the plurality of being black and how we fit it within our environments put quite this raw.

time is money, money is time

I'm saving to buy my freedom, God, grant me wings, I'm too fly not to fly _ Saul Williams

I loved all of that as well
And YES for coco being more complex
All this popping of the stereotype bbbles from outside and within

Also loved that the editor got in that kiss

watching it right now, in *this* era in the Year of Our Lucrative but Fragile Blackness, is extra special

I won't lie, I'm struggling to make it through the third season. Even with a lot of self-referential jokes that Netflix shows go off the rails during season 3.

they jumped around alot and seemed to not know what they wanted to do with the characters...i don't like where they went with the secret society

the radio show was mostly nonexistent, as well

but other than that, i really like the stories they continued to tell...i hope there's at least one other season

Lionel is my favorite character
