Last week's (ep 04) of Black Jesus finally hit its stride. Not for the plotline, but for the performances. Easily their best episode yet, and Jesus had little role in it.

Good to hear, I'm gonna start on episode 3 today, watch 4th tomorrow. Hope he keeps improving, I liked the show runners previous series Boondocks a lot.

S 01 E 01 was intriguing. The style has lots of color. And I honestly think the episode got better as it went on.

But something about how the British portray cold-blooding killing... it has an element of social repression to it, where a similar show in the U.S. would be culturally immersed in it so much already.

Definitely going to keep watching.

It's stylized wholly differently. I think to a British audience, where citizen handguns are all but illegal, the multiple acts of murder take on a different dimension than it does to an American audience desensitized by ridiculously violent movies and nearby schools with dead children every other month.

Thus for a British audience, the violence is a little like Fred watching a porno film: there's a certain novelty and shock to the act that elicits a visceral reaction. I suspect many Brits watching the show get frozen on the actual act, whereas a jaded US audience is already thinking past the murder and wondering about details such as motive and technique of the killing.

It's not only to brits like that, it was for me too.

 

[Hængebøffer]

But were all Americanized, Greg. The style in this show is something special.

 

[swag]

I think the Raz has it. We're all desensitized now.

Thanks, America and globalization.

a fcitional show thats fiction?? you dont say

 

[Lion]

you know what i meant. a show about aliens and space magic, can be unbelievable too if it breaks its own rules of immersion and logic, not real world rules


i am not saying its a bad show
