I thought I would make this topic since I didn't see one already made and I do have a few unpopular opinions! No offense to those who disagree, of course. Here goes: - I don't give a shit about racist, crazy-ass Morello. Whenever I see her, I think about how she terrorizes poor Christopher. - Natasha Lyonne is not a very good actress, and her character is one of the least compelling. I honestly didn't even notice that she was gone. I'm also not quite sure why, but her character reminds me of a broom. - Sophia is one of my least favorite characters. Cox is by far the worst actress in the main cast, and this is probably why she isn't featured more. She has an incredibly false affect and only one facial expression. Her character is also just not that likable, imo. When she told her son to find an insecure girl to "practice on", I thought she sounded just like a creepy man. I also REALLY didn't like it when she said that the worst part of becoming a woman was having to deal with backstabbing/gossiping women (or something along those lines). It's one of my pet peeves when people act like women are more petty than men. I was like, well fuck you too Sophia!!! She also displayed some of her bigotry when she said that Benny's bad behavior was due to his "culture" or where he grew up, and I definitely thought she was more at fault in that situation than Gloria was. Her wife seems like a wonderful woman though, and the actress conveys such strength and warmth, even in her brief scenes. - I was not at all comfortable with the portrayal of Islam/Muslims in this season. Between all that weird Qur'an business and that strange, random scene with Watson's parents, I couldn't help but think they were trying to say something. It left a bad taste in my mouth. -He's a bastard, but Cesar is SUCH a fun character. He's so entertaining and I find his devotion(in his own way lol) to the kids touching. Also, he's really hot and has a hot accent. - With the exception of a few excellent performances, there is nothing Emmy-worthy about this show. I still really enjoy it though!!

I must be in the minority as I found very little to like about this pilot. It was almost embarrassing to see how hard they were trying to make this into the next big ~prestige drama~ by substituting good, subtle writing and nuanced acting with clever editing and music. A show isn't good just because it's depressing and "gritty". I'll stick around because I do love Regina King, it'll be nice to see a positive representative of Muslims on American television for once, and for the tie-in to Ferguson, so I hope this show can overcome its clunky pilot.

I think my favorite part of this episode was the fact that Ethel and Desiree appear to be friends and are supportive of each other. Their relationship is so sweet and unexpected.

I know nobody likes him, but I think Khloe and French Montana were sort of sweet together! They seemed to have fun with each other. Although, I'm probably being soft on him because of how cute he was with Mason. The quickest way to my heart is for a man to be good with kids lol.

North is such a little cutie. She seems so much happier/relaxed when Kanye is holding her. Regardless of what many people think of him, she obviously loves her daddy.
