"You bench 350 pieces?"

Bench press totals aside, I thought TM and I were on the same team.

This makes me emotional.

i liked it.

it was cool seeing how they recreated Chicago in the 50s.

The constant racist harassment in that society was well portrayed.

The end of the episode - I guess i didnt know it was this kind of show. I'll see how it goes. Went a bit over the top but still liking what I saw.

Pretty good.

Jussie's sister was particularly good, especially in the exit from the diner.

Next week should expand the universe now that they made it to the house.

This show really is black “Supernatural” with a budget 100x what the boys on the CW get.

And it’s awesome.

Show could be cool w/o all the racial stuff. Lovecraft never made race a focal part of his work.

what race stuff? just that the cast is black? don't get you.

If you mean the oppression they faced during those times that's an accurate depiction.

Uhhh what are you talking about? The show is about monsters. No need to shove racial stuff down everyone's throat.

My husband pointed out the same thing. I am Mexican-American, born here, and it is kind of offensive to me that everyone is focusing their attention only on African AmerIcans. It seems like we get left out of all the pop culture shows that do not involve drugs or gangs.
