100% Spot on take
Ok I'm all caught up...
This was REAL GOOD
Not perfect nothing is I got sone gripes but I have RARELY seen a show cast so perfectly and I mean actors with one scene, one line, no lines... EVERYONE PERFECT.
but Taylor seems to be able to get anyone and everyone he wants to come play.
Some episodes meandered a little some storyline didn't develop well but overall I'm happy.

I already made my thoughts on David playing Bass clear. Watching the entire series? I still feel the same way. The lack of physicality took away from some of the dynamics and tension of certain scenes.
But everything was so damn well done I don't know what to say. David wasn't bad in any scene. He carried this whole thing and made sure to let his Co stars eat.
I'm not in love with it.
But I'm never missing an episode.

i dont wanna hear that shit did u feel the pain or not negro
shit got me pissed off
The entire series
I just said every aspect of this was well done. Costume cinematography set design sound music editing all of it
The wife? The daughter? Should get nominations.
That brother telling the Mr. Sundown story? Award worthy.
Bass suddenly realizing how the law isn't fair just and equal no matter how much he tries.
The very first episode with the card game for freedom.
Yeah it was well done.
I wanted the carnival story and the rest of Mr. Sundown, and that final scene of Bass and the judge talking in his chamber to a little more MORE in that moment.
But overall it resonated. And that is not an easy feat by any means.
We NEED more shows like this.

It's a good show and we should support
But If people have a problem with him not being FBA that's fine
It's still a good show

Wife and daughter are very good on
City on a Hill and Godfather of Harlem respectively too.

these award shows better recognize these amazing black performers.
Lawman: Bass Reeves
Episodes 6 - 8
Watched these last night.
Reconstruction was brought up and it was stated it was coming to a end.
That cat Edwin Jones brought up some good points for what was going on and what Black folks should be doing during that time period, but unfortunately Black folks couldn’t look ahead at the time to see what was happening. Definitely a lost opportunity that we are paying for today.
Having a little white girl come knocking at door in the middle of the day unexpectedly….as a Black person you should automatically know trouble is coming.
Bass’ reaction to seeing fossilized dinosaur prints and the T-Rex skull was funny.
Got a flashback with Jennie when she was a slave. Jenny confronting her former slave master wife was a wake up call letting her know shit is getting ready to go downhill.
Esau making full use of the 13th Amendment for his own financial benefit was made clear.
Good to see Bass release those Brotha’s and let them go restart their lives to end the series.
Next season is supposed to be a different lawman from the era, looking forward to it.
