Orange Is the New Black (2013)
So close. But Jenji Kohan decided to ally with evil after all.
This began as such a brilliant series. Very entertaining story based in real life in which Jenji Kohan tackled numerous social issues. She did an amazing job tackling issues if the LQBTQ community, Women, Prison reform etc etc. But then came Season 4 and Jenji spit in the face of the Black community. In season 4 they show a guard (cop) kill an innocent unarmed Black woman. But they show it as a "mistake". A guard that lacked training and made a mistake and afterwards was extremely remorseful. All the excuses the White community makes every time an innocent unarmed Black person is murdered by the hands of White authority. But this isnt reality. In the vast majority of these case it isnt some "mistake". There isnt a remorseful actor. In the bast majority of these cases its a hate filled sociopath who murders Black people for sport and feels no remorse. Jenji had the opportunity to tell the truth but failed to do so and instead sided with the Klan and made excuses for modern day lynching. And when she did tell the story of the hat filled remorseless sociopath it was white people he prayed upon. Because Kohan figured that the audience would identify better if the victims were white people. This was Jenji screaming thourgh her creative process that "White lives matter" but Black lives dont. Shame on you Jenji Kohan. You are no better than those that wear the Klan robe. Shame on you.
The Fallout (2021)
America in a nutshell
The real tragedy is that this is hyper realistic. We deal with this in America everyday. And will continue to because the NRA has preprogrammed an army of the less intelligent among us with the most illogical and insane arguments against gun control. The truth is that we are the only developed nation on Earth that has to deal with this. Gun control is the ONLY Answer to it. Gun control has worked to vastly reduce gun violence in every other country that has implemented it. It even worked here when Clinton banned assault weapons to reduce gun violence until Bush let it expire. When will we wake up?
Ex on the Beach (2018)
Excellent Trash TV
This is top notch trash TV as long as you go in knowing that you are watching trash tv. Sometimes you just need the mindless entertainment. And you'll get it here. The first two seasons were the best nut every season has something to offer. And kudos to the casting department because wow did they stock the show with some insanely hot women. Season one you thought it couldnt get much hotter than Angela but then season two introduces you to Nurys Mateo who is hotter than it should be legal to be. The way these young singles manage to make a mess of their past and present relationships is hilarious.
All American (2018)
Season 5 is killing a good show
This was a really good show. I enjoyed the cast, the story and the twists. But then came season 5. Half way through the season they kill off a main character and it seems like the cast grieving over Coach Baker is what the entire rest of the season is going to be about. I get that it had to be the subject for an episode or two but its getting ridiculous at this point. Its just lazy writing and its ruining a great show. At least there are some small side stories creeping in here and there and there is always the treat of looking at the insanely beautiful women in the cast. But unitl they get past this morbid stuff the show is dead to me.
