Fluorescent Rage

Malcolm X dining at Chamon, a curry house owned by Bangladeshis in the Selly Oak neighborhood of Birmingham, England on February 12, 1965.

I loved every second of that.

I think it may be one of my top 3 shows of all time. I’ve never seen a show that has dealt with so many important, prescient, progressive topics with such nuance and pathos and accuracy before.

I’ve also never really seen a show in which I am fully invested in everyone and every storyline. The “villain” characters get layers, the nice characters make mistakes and everyone gets to be a messy and confusing HUMAN.

It’s one of the best casts I’ve ever seen. Each one of them brilliant, funny and loveable. The show itself is impeccably written, hilarious, moving and important whilst never feeling preachy.

The music is perfect, the cinematography perfect, the location perfect.

I cried so much through the whole thing but pretty much shed a tear once a scene in the last episode.

I couldn’t rank the characters because I love them all.

I love it.
