Writing Louis as a Black Creole man in New Orleans was a God tier decision on this shows part and Jacob DELIVERS. I will never understand people’s disagreements with his casting or his performance. I just assume it’s racism and homophobia. This adaptation pulls direct lines from the book, it’s more true to the storyline than the movie was (the movie swapped Louis brother’s suicide for a random unnamed wife dying in childbirth!?) and honestly Jacob’s narration of his life is actually very reminiscent of Pitt’s narration in the movie. Just better. It’s so much better. This is the adaptation that a middle school me in 2003 was dreaming of. This show deserves every award.

Now why am I tearing up

Jacob Anderson deserves awards for the confessional scene

I’ll never forgive or forget the writers pairing up Sayid and Shannon, and then pretending Sayid would spend his afterlife with her instead of his wife, Nadia.
