Preface: I am a graduate of a well known historically Black university with a degree in Black History. This show is getting brigaded for having racial tones so that has to be established before I say this: That being said, this is show is TERRIBLE. I completely understand what they're trying to go for and it misses the mark completely. The plot is nonsensical, the dialogue is terrible, and the magic aspect of the show is downright moronic. I've been watching this along with friends and we've tried so hard to enjoy it but it feels like an insult to our intelligence. I have no idea how Jordan Peele is involved with this because it is far below his regular caliber of production. Every metaphor, allusion and easter egg hits like a brick. I've never felt so insulted from a show being on the nose before this one. It watches like a poor man's "Watchmen" (HBO) or the fever dream of a 19 year old Hotep. It saddens me that this is getting praise simply because of the political environment and Peele's involvement.
