    I will say this about the show: that whole "stay woke" ? is annoying. Seems like they took something meant to mean real consciousness and turned it into just another phrase.

    I like how they gave each character thier own episode to flesh them out. Made me invest in the characters...and yeah ep 5 was real as ? .

    And Colandrea >>>>>Samantha

    Show was good as hell. The character episodes made me think twice about the snap judgments we have on certain black ppl. Especially colandrea.

    The character development was a high point though.. I really didnt feel any affinity for Colandrea i just can't feel anything for people that go along to get along...She wasnt likeable at all. That trick Sorbet was just an overall wack ass character.(Stacey Dash) ass.


    like i said the millenial bs just throws me off .. Id prefer if it was was more Higher Learning/Different world type of vibe but i guess it makes sense because kids/youth are in a different place they were then; I did see that a woman that was involved in A Different World has her hands in this series

    Your going to see more and more of this on every movie and tv show. Another thing I didnt like was the black people are racist undertone and all this "reverse racism" ? ! Racism includes POWER to deny/disenfranchise whole groups of people and blacks cant do this. Blacks can only be BIAS towards a certain race.

    Ive only watched up to ep 4 or 5 I cant remember but I loved the shots they took at scandel lmfao! Theres some other things I didnt like but I dont want to spoil/reveal too much.
