I’m an old, white, man and I watched it the first season, thought it was great. It had top notch talent, was well produced, very entertaining drama. Then they started telling me how to think and what to think by pushing a social agenda and screwed up a really good show.
Taraji Henson and Terrence Howard are great talents and deserve a better vehicle than what this show is becoming.
You are not old, jstaff... you are way more hip than me. :) It is disappointing when you find a show and the first season is so good and then they fumble the football in the second season.
I really liked the one scene where the thug son is in a restaurant and starts ripping on Obama.
Your post is spot on.
They started the repressed black garbage but there are no major white characters in the show repressing anyone. It’s mostly rich blacks doing what the be wanting to do. See what I’m saying?
The show has never been accurate in the first place because if it was they would be saying nigg× every other word. I use that word in naming the show. I’ve always called Nigg× Dynasty.
They went from great to garbage in one season.
