Dear White People on Netflix

The Dear White People series was just released on Friday- has anyone else caught it yet? I just started a day ago and have nearly finished it. Missed the film, but the series is really excellent. Very smart, and handles a wide-range of topics and viewpoints with grace and humor. The fifth episode, in particular, is breathtaking.

He's terrific. And though she doesn't get a focus episode, I love Joelle too.

I loved the finale, but

Just finished watching. It is far superior to the movie. The nice thing is that you need not to have seen it to enjoy the series. The movie was pretty much a lead up to the white face party. I love that the series uses the party as the center of the series and then gives you the back story on the main characters. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was the stereotypical portrayal of the lesbian girl that they asked to attend the town hall and the newspaper editor for the Indepejdent paper. But the series is a bit quirky, which I love, so I overlooked it. My favorite line was "I gave up my hair for you"!

Finished it this weekend. So damn good!
