Pretty much a must for Donald Glover fans, granted it might have benefited from a little Lakeith Stanfield/Darius energy.
I've said elsewhere that horror is not my cup of tea, but this film has more going on then just the grisly. That said, are bodies the new car crashes for film. (As a youth my mind would drift elsewhere during the requisite automotive destruction, these days must I do the same as a body is bludgeoned. Sigh...)
Anyways, this short 7-episode series covers a lot of territory, and not just on the Wuronos trail.
Do you lose yourself in celebrity adoration?
Do you lose yourself in a nasty family upbringing?
Do you lose yourself in a dank nightclub?
Can you lose yourself in a new town/identity?
Do you lose yourself in a relationship? (Actually thought a relationship might save the lead character at one point).
These various deviation points (and the whole "Cop" episode, easily the funniest) might make this less rewarding for some viewers who want a consistent feel and flavor. But did you watch "Atlanta?" Glover get bored before his audience does, and that to me is a good thing!
That and the ugly duckling uglier transformation of Dominique Fishback made this a two-night binge success for me. Even if there is the sad element that black women have to work twice as hard to kill half the number of people.
Anyways if any of my reviews irritate you so much I make your target list, let's have lunch first (no steak knives please) and talk about the things we have in common.
