Dear White People

I really wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to this show. The title is telling you that this show is going to be about the wall in the society that is race. I guess it was my fault expecting something more than that. After having to sit through 30 minutes of a badly written, directed and acted episode, I realized that the creator of this show only wants to fuel the hatred in the black society. The show tries to do this by diminishing the white race. (You're in an Ivy League college, who fucking asks "What are you?" to a black person?) But I'm sure the limited target audience of this show will love it.

The political brouhaha over this show really stops us from talking about it as what it is: a TV show, and TV shows are supposed to entertain, which Dear White People clearly forgot to do. The message of the show is on point, but the whole thing acting-wise, writing-wise, directing-wise was clearly lacking, you can barely call it entertainment. It wasn't funny enough to be called a comedy, nor serious enough to be taken seriously as a drama, and if you peel all that sociopolitial layer off it you'll be watching a very typical teen drama, completely with love triangles and sexually confused characters. It is not inventive nor interesting, you have most likely seen or heard this shit a thousand times before in litterally any show that happens to take place in a high school or a university. I don't watch TV to get woke, that's what the news is for. I want to be entertained.
