She's Gotta Have It | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix

[atribecalledgabi]

Not bad, happy for the black opportunities. Dope in a lot of areas, but some things were wack.

Shit fell all the way apart in the last episode.

Main character motivations were all over the place. Maybe that was intentional, but it ended up being plot speed bumps.

Delivering messages seemed to be more important than story.

I missed this post, but yes! That's exactly what I was getting at with my previous post. Tell the fuckin story stop tryna address every issue we got going on today. With that said, I appreciate the gentrification angle.

[atribecalledgabi]

But after 5 eps, I agree...

@Madame_CJSkywalker this show is very bold in highlighting feminist values (I'm on Episode 4 now) ... do you still dig it?

it is corny at times and some things do feel forced, but i still dig it ...and i want to support spike

also satisfying seeing the show doesn't just focus on nola's sexuality but it also pays attention to the ways in which blk female bodies are constantly scrutinized and under surveillance (by the white cashier); exploited ( fat joe, reality TV); and threatened (by men on the street)

like how they fleshed out the main male characters..... the opal character as well benefited. glad they didn't just leave her this stereotypical dyke who like to prey on straight women

don't necessarily like how jamie is now into this tortured philanderer...but glad the jamie/nola

Spoiler

rape from the movie has been omitted...big improvement...

at least so far it has been omitted

on ep 7 i think...

the writing could have improved with more focus, nuance...subtlety

but it's a spike lee joint ...not surprised

see she hate me.... to a lesser extent school days, jungle fever

still love him though

 

[atribecalledgabi]

The shit is just all over the place...I actually cancelled my netflix a couple weeks ago so I got til tomorrow til my plan is up. I was gonna finish watching today cuz I got time......but nah. I'm good on this show lol. I hope it gets better toward the end

I don't see what y'all are talking about honestly. It's a good show nothing groundbreaking it is not the wire or anything but it's an entertaining show.

I'm glad you like it....shit just don't really flow to me. It's too many things going on at once that don't need to be there

 

[rip.dilla]

Compared to the movie it's fluffy... the tone of the movie was subtle

I agree with Gabi. There's so much going on in this show and 30 years removed from the movie probably Spike done forgot about its premise

However I like the music and how they show the artwork as a song finishes. That's dope

 

[D. Morgan]

I liked the show no complaints at all

 

[atribecalledgabi]

Oh and I'm surprised none of you heathens talked about that lesbian scene lol

 

[Focal Point]

Girl on Girl action... wundaba

 

[inori]

checkin this out... I agree with previous posters that have said this shit is a lil heavy handed but its aite....Ima support it based on the mostly black cast..

That nose ring shit is a bit distracting to me tho lol

 

[rip.dilla]

I finished the whole of it last night...

One thing you can't accuse Spike of is shying away from Blackness in his films. No matter the context or plot of his screenplays race must be an underlying factor...

I liked the ode to Prince with the last episode but it's evident Spike was trying to appeal to the LGBT crowd with that 'portrait' and feminists in the second or third episode

I've read varying reviews on it and some share my views. I don't really think this series was necessary. The movie was groundbreaking for its time. Spike even said his wife pitched the idea for a series around the film first...

I like it but it did turn for me

it went from Nola's story right into social and cultural issues and back all while playing as some sort of soundtrack

then the poems lol

I hate musicals and random long poems in movies

these niggas scrolled the text on the screen in red letters

for like 8 minutes lmao
