Also forgot to mention ... season 1 of Under the Bridge.
Reason being is because it hits close to home for her. It's based upon a murder which took place in late-1997 in a neighboring community to where she lives now (from 2009 onward).
Also ... my mom used to work in nursing, and spent time working in youth secure custody / custodies, etc.
2 of the people involved in the murder were people she had direct interaction with, particularly the lead female.
* Side note ... for those who have seen Mare of Easttown from a handful of years back ... the murder which takes place in that pilot episode may have drawn upon / been inspired by the following too ...
Under the Bridge is an American true crime drama television miniseries developed by Quinn Shephard that is based upon the book of the same name by Rebecca Godfrey. The series premiered on Hulu on April 17, 2024.[1]
Premise
It follows the murder of Reena Virk, as a writer enters the hidden world of the accused killers.
Reena Virk (Punjabi: ਰੀਨਾ ਵਿਰਕ; March 10, 1983 – November 14, 1997) was a 14-year-old Canadian girl who was beaten and killed by a group of teenagers in Saanich, British Columbia, Canada. Her status as a victim of bullying prior to her murder attracted substantial media scrutiny in Canada. Six teenagers were tried and convicted for their participation in her death. The Globe and Mail commented at the time that her case was "elevated into a national tragedy".[1] A pair of Canadian sociologists have described the case as a watershed moment for a "moral panic" over girl violence by the Canadian public in the late 1990s.[2][3][4]
Ok I missed this
It is now on the list!
All the best to Mama H Funk!
Imagine all the BGOL themed-shows that will be made with this

Well earned.
Watched the season 3 finale last night.
2 good scenes with Ava and Deborah in the final 10 minutes. Good to see Ava showing a thicker skin / darker side when wronged by Deb’.

..WTF..? Never saw this episode..i presume Della Reese wasn't in this one?
EDIT:Nevermind
..and she actually wasnt bad-looking w/ the makeup onI had to school some young kids freaking out about this...
White folk are simple as f**k. This may sound insane but shows and moments like this helped white children and white folk actually begin to understand appreciate and empathize with the Black experience. As crazy as that sounds in 2024
This wasn't blackface in that sense. This folk actually had the best of intentions and knew their audience
All this sh*t is never for US. Its these white folk who are sensitive as he'll and have to be coddled and babied toward basic humanity.
