I'm forced to watch this show due to family members liking it for some reason, so I'm going to complain about it, and while the show itself is mostly just boring, the director is Ava Duvernay, the woman behind Wrinkle in Time, who blamed the bad ratings on racist critics. She has a policy of only hiring female directors, which is what the linked article is about. Even still, she's loved by the media.

What prompted me to make this thread is that it's almost impossible to find any criticism of Duvernay on google. There's just so many gushing articles praising her for one thing or another that you can't find anything else. Which seems strange to me, given that she's pretty racist and sexist.

On the show itself, the main character, Charley (This is a woman) is just so unpleasant most of the time. She's just always super pissed off about something. She's got a sister who is also always super pissed off about something, but it's usually something else.

The backstory is that their father owned a farm, and the evil white folks (the Landry family) stole it or killed their father... somehow. But now they have it back. But those evil whiteys want the land back! You see, they need it, to build a private prison. Subtle, right?

So... I dunno, anyone else familiar with this show, or Ava Duvernay, and want to complain about them? Here's a place.

Between her and Michael from STD, is it just me, or are female leads with inexplicable male names starting to become a pattern? It's been something of a fanfiction trope for a long time, usually denoting the kind of grrrl-power Mary Sue that...
...I just answered my own question, didn't I.
 
She's so outrageously full of herself, but I don't see the talent on display to back it up. Usually big ego and small talent = lots of funny criticism. Not so much for this lady.

It's weird that the left's sacred cows get a billion articles copy-pasted about how great that are, drowning out any original thought, but the right leaning people's scandals are all on full display forever.
