    While I am liberal politically, the politics in this are extreme to the point of being hateful towards people who aren't black and even advocating violence/revolution at times. This is the kind of thing that would be declared hate speech if it was made by anyone other than a black person. Even worse than its reactionary politics is that it is just not entertaining or funny.

    I watched the entire first episode on youtube and I have to say that this show achieved levels of racism I didn't think possible before.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Creative, dark, disturbing, illuminating, and occasionally hilarious. The editing and use of various techniques pays tribute to webcasts and low budget kids programming from the 80's-00's. The only weak point was the unfortunately long and mostly pointless segment on sexuality. The message was lost somehow.… Expand

    It’s highly attuned to wide-ranging stylistic experimentation, but lacks the necessary emotional heft and nuance to tackle such topics like the weight of bringing black children into a world that is hostile toward them.

    There’s so much to look at and feel while watching this show that it can sometimes be overwhelming--which, of course, is the entire point. It can be chaotic as it careens from one thought or medium to another, but it’s never random.

    Passionately inventive. ... He invents original, yet nonetheless personal, ways of relating collective stories. ... It’s also a work of meticulous composition that highlights the imaginative astonishments, political perspectives, and personal insights that are unleashed by the cinema’s technical power. Nance’s definitive display of effects-driven political fantasy comes in another masterstroke that’s too good to spoil; let me just add--keep watching to the end of the end credits.
