I'm on the fence about the whole series, honestly. It's very disturbing for a number of reasons. I dont think I'll even finish it, cause it's so fucked up.

But for real tho, dont watch episode 5.

Was episode 5 the one with the letters in the lawn? I can't remember.

The whole series was bizarre. I couldn't imagine watching it from your perspective.

Are you past episode 5 at all? Because I have a question for you if you are.

^^ yeah, we are past episode 5. On episode 6 when the in -laws called to talk. It was a much needed break.... We told them to skip over episode 5.


^ I kind of agree. Man, it certainly feels like an exploitation of black trauma in the United States. It kinda feels like a series meant for white people. I mean, these are the stories that black families have passed down through the ages to the younger generation.... it's like "DUDE, I KNOW..."

^I'd like to know what you think about the motivations of the thing haunting these families when you get to that point.

^ Nah, bro.... You're the painfully blind to racist stuff guy on TWW. I can't discuss my thoughts on this with you.

If I were to open up about something like this online, I would rely on the esteemed marko, or perhaps my good buddy WillemJoel, both whom I'd invite to the cookout.

I couldn't honestly tell anyone to watch that series. One part of me can understand where the series originates... The other part of me says it's racism porn.

Before watching it, the reviews I read compared it to Antebellum, but I guess this isn't anything like it. I can't not finish a series I've started.

Another thing about this series I don't understand is Betty's ending. She got what she deserved, but certainly not in a way I was expecting. Just kinda came out of nowhere.

Even without going deep - Chatham county doesn't have mountains. Took me out of it right there.

I tried to like this. I made it to about 15 minutes into episode 2 before giving up.
