Oh I hadn't heard of this one!

Since I'm not much in to tv I think I'll have to choose between Atlanta and Queen Sugar. Decisions, decisions.

[borinquen57]

kicks , it's supposed to be really good, like it's already been renewed for season two before even premiering! It's by Ava DuVernay with Oprah.

OMG. Y'all. I'm in tears. Poor little Blue. That takes me back to when my grandfather died. My granddaddy was my world.

And Charly. Her whole world just came crashing down.

That was OUTSTANDING! Blue's scene shattered me. He reminds me so much of DD1.

I knew Davis wasn't shit. No one is that perfect.

I have to rewatch it, there were so many scenes when I drifted off because of the images. Just awesome!

Dammit I forgot to watch! Hopefully I can find it on demand. What network is Atlanta on?

I think there's another tonight. Maybe they'll air the premiere prior to it.

It's on FX but they put the premiere up on YouTube.

I really enjoyed the second episode. I was confused a lot of the first. The visuals on this show are stunning. Other than Aunt Violet and the father who died, I didn't recognize any of the actors. Oh, except the guy who plays the grandfather's friend. Wasn't he on a soap? So far Nova is my fave character. Can't wait to see what happens next week!

I watched both episodes last night and am in love with this show! Like everyone else, Blue had me in tears. That hospital scene killed me.

Yes, he was on All My Children. And was Robert on The Cosby Show.

I just watched both episodes. This was so, so good.

The moment Blue saw his grandfather in the hospital I started sobbing and didn't stop until well after the episode ended. On my dad's last day in ICU, we were allowed to bring baby DD1 in, and we propped her into the crook of his arm while she napped. Dad was unconscious but they just looked so peaceful together and damn if that scene didn't take me immediately back to that moment.

It was so damn good.
I cried a lot, and I'm not a crier.
Blue looks so much like my nephew so his acting cut straight to my heart.

It was all so well developed. This will get me through my Being Mary Jane withdrawals.


On the other hand, Atlanta was meh. If it was someone other than Donald Glover, I'd probably like it more. For now, I'm just watching out of solidarity.

Oh gosh, I loved Atlanta! I was dying.

Queen Sugar is very good, also, but heavy. When shows are like that, I have to be mentally prepared first because I don't feel like being drained.

If it wasn't for Donald Glover as the main actor, I'd be all over that show!

He annoys me but I can't put my finger on why exactly. I still haven't watched, though.

Davis ain't shit. I'm an episode behind, so I'm on episode 3. I want to snatch a knot in his ass.
