Surprised they dumped the troy dating the daughter and trying to get in with pastiche plot line from the movie
Pastiche and kurt don't feel like a big threat like they were in the movie but then most of the show takes place after the events of the movie. commentary on how the (white) son of a university head can get away with this shit like it was nothing?
They also got rid of Lionel being with the other frat and getting bullied by them but kept his weariness of Armstrong parker. This new guy playing the editor is a lot less creepy than the movie version
I do like the change with troy being more friendly with lionel instead of being a douche

No lies detected.
Wait was that an actual show or a parody of one?

On episode 3 and this is pretty alright. Seems fairly self aware.

Episode 8 and I only now notice the episodes aren't an hour long. So much happens in these episodes that they feel longer.
This white guy got to comfortable using Nigga at this party...
Speaking of the music though, using Gambino and now Trap Niggas...whew I'm here for it
"We need to do what they did in Germany...I meant the educating kids about our horrible past part, not the..concentration camps part."

Was so jarring to go from that right to the climax of the episode in all of about a minute.

Lol I had to rewind just to make sure that's what they said. What a great moment.
Seriously, I knew what to expect the moment I heard Trap Niggas playin at the party, but I still didn't know how to take the end besides staying tense as hell. To see one of my greatest fears presented in such a manner rn, does something to me. The entire Reggie episode was so good

Yeah. I don't say it was jarring as a negative. Shows just how quickly things can change.

The show is funny as hell.

I don't see why Sam told Gabe he was right to call the police. I mean I think there is important lesson to learn that calling the police for a situation that isn't completely out of control has a good chance of escalating the situation far beyond where it needs to be.

Yeah I kinda felt like I had to throw up after that moment. It felt so real and terrifying. I don't think I've seen a show that handled a
black person/police encounter
"Are you a student?"

I can't tell you the amount of times I got asked what sport's scholarship was I at school on. For people saying this show is completely unrealistic, you must not have been in school recently.
It got me shook as a black kid bout to go to a college where the white population is mighty big, just...ahhh

He trusts the police. He thinks they will help. I am white, but I saw that as the point of the while thing. The series even established the campus police as being able to handle a situation like that without escalation with the blackface party where there wasn't any escalation because of their presence.

what was wrong with Gabe?
he's the quintessential white liberal ally.
There are real live Gabes right now who watched the end of episode 5 and believe it was unrealistic how it all happened.
I mean...people are honestly that naive tho breh. Innocent imo. I'd imagine he didn't realize his fuck up until the words left his mouth.
We gotta get the pubic hair just the right shade to match her hair, not too dark and not too light, or else some fuck on Twitter will @ us and complain
I know, it was just aggravating
Sunster

yea
I was surprised he called them, seemed pretty clueless of him. but I thought he was a pretty good ally prior to that revelation when he came up with the protest idea.
on the other hand....
he didn't bother to attend just cuz his gf cheated. then lied when he finally did show up, saying he was there to support Reggie. so I guess that says a lot about his true motives.

Episode 2
Man, that was great. Lionel's awesome. Dude was looking clean as fuck after that cut. I'm never getting rid of my hair unless my hairline starts looking like Stevie's. And that touch your hair first, ask if it's okay second shit can be real annoying.

I didn't understand most or all of that scene, yes I get that that part was a joke
Being "disappointed" in her for dating a white guy aside (creepy Reggie being possessive) I have never heard people say black men aren't good enough for black women... the dialog has always been the other way around and like
"oh rich black men need to marry white women because black women aren't good enough."
it seems like they just made that argument up for the show.
it may be so but it is the first I have heard about it and I haven't been plugging my ears.
Really? Because both sides are things

Oh, music selection has been on point so far, too.
Both sides are definitely a huge thing but the problem I have with that being said about Sam is she's half white so she's not exactly dating outside of her race.
