HI there everyone,
This is my first forum ever. I am really new to this, but I absolutely love reading, discussing, and talking about good quality television. I watched American Crime's season 1 in its entirety, and because of how great season one was, it does not surprise me how good this show gets.
I really do not really know a lot of people who watch the show enough to where I can talk and theorize the characters.
The show is great! I love the actors. I love the character development. NOW, to the show.
- Am I the only one that gets an irky feeling about the Leslie. I know she is modeling corruption in the show, but man, it almost seems like half of the time she is in denial, and the other half of the time, she seems concerned for the well being. I think she is putting on a front, and I think Felicity is doing absolutely great with the acting.
- I love the story of Eric and Taylor. I don't particularly like the whole rape thing, but it provides a lot of truth. I don't mean to offend anybody, but I think people are still somewhat unaware that gay men have to do a lot of sneaking around and talking dirty in order to "get some action." I know that does not apply to every single one, but it is somewhat of a true statement. I could go on and on about that, but for the sake of discussion of the show, I will move on. Does anyone have an irky feeling about Kevin having something to do with the rape. I think he's a very sexually frustrated guy, but I do think that he MIGHT of had something to do with it. I know he hosted the captain's party, but I think he might of took a round on Taylor once Kevin was finished.
- I feel bad for Evy. I mean, poor girl. She was basically kind of used. I understand her pain, and I understand why Taylor did it, but it is just like. Man. That sucks!
- Taylor's mom - i feel bad for her. I think she is an ex-druggy?? Does anybody else think that? I still feel kind of weird about the guy that said he was okay with Taylor staying with for that weekend trip. Oh, I think Taylor also lied about having only slept with one other guy. I feel like, he's too experienced. He seems like he knows his way around "grindr" or whatever sex app it was. Again, anybody want to talk about the chocking? and the ruff sex? Sounds like he's somewhat into the whole control and molestation in the past kind of thing.
- Regina King, no matter how rough on the palate her characters are in American Crime, one can not deny her acting remains on point. I love her. Personally, I think her Emmy was well deserved, but you can't deny Felicity's character last season was very very top notch when it came to acting.
- The basketball coach - I think he's named Dan in the show is particularly kind of off putting. I think his acting is superb as well. He did win an oscar back in the day for Ordinary People when he was directed by Redford. He's a good actor. No denying that. I just don't know why he feels so guilty.
^ Dan's wife... I respect woman. I don't mean to offend anybody, but can someone please explain to me why she was so put off by what Leslie said. I mean, isn't was Leslie said, the truth? "The other boy lied. Our kid didn't." She said something of that nature, but I don't know. I also am very well aware that yes, Jessup's character did not lie.
Uhm, i think that is pretty good enough to get a forum started. Any thoughts? I just want to talk and read about how good the show is. It is so good!!! I really hope people watch it so they can really see what quality stories and amazing story telling is. Let's talk!
