Start Trek: Discovery cast takes a knee after show's premiere.
I guess I was more right about the ghetto in that shows cast than I realized. What a shame. You can really see it in the eyes of the senequa person.
After finishing the first episode I find my thoughts are the same about watching it a second time but only if someone liked it enough the first time to do so.
Also; there’s something about the First Officer character, Michael played by Sonequa something, that I can’t quite put my finger on. I think I keep seeing the ghetto shine through her mediocre acting ability.
I don’t say this in a mean way. She clearly needs a few more years, say 5 - 10, to perfect her skills before her ‘hood’ atitude wasn’t so obvious. On the other hand; this may be exactly what the director or producer wanted. Disappointing if true. This isn’t Sanford and Son after all. In my opinion her role on The Walking Dead was more suited to her and her skill level. It’s a shame she couldn’t have stayed there and perfected her craft among other roles she may have gotten as well.
Sorry; but she really isn’t fit for this role... yet in her acting career. It’s possible the previous director saw this as well and wanted someone more fitting but was over ridden by the producers because they did want someone more ‘hood’ or ghetto in that role to appeal to that demographic. The way things are now in the acting world; I put nothing past them.
