....that Africans and Native Americans suffered atrocities at the hands of white people, here's an excruciatingly long, boring, drawn-out lecture. It's a four part miniseries with the goal of pointing fingers at who was (and apparently still is) responsible for the crimes against the aforementioned groups in the 18th and 19th centuries. Overall, it's not terrible, but incredibly dull and slow... like a grade school band recital played in slow motion (seriously, if you watch it: set your video player to 1.5x speed (this is not hyperbole))

.... the real flagship episode of this ridiculous "re-imagining" of The Twilight Zone, is one where a white police officer relentlessly pursues, across many different timelines, a black mother and son who are simply going about their lives... he simply cannot handle the fact hat black people exist: driven by hatred and his white person genetics, he MUST, as if driven by his most base and primitive white male urges, seek out and destroy black people. Because, that's how white people act nowadays... that's just what they do, that's how they feel... all of them, right?. Can you imagine....no? You don't need to imagine, mainstream media has already given you all you need to know....

With tons of people tuning in to watch the hugely successful Impractical Jokers, TruTV has been trying to crowbar other, garbage shows down everyones throat and hope that one or two catches on. Along with "It's Personal with Amy Hoggart", other examples are: "Hot Ones: The Game Show" (which is abysmally bad, and is flopping hard), "I'm Sorry", "Adam Ruins Everything", "The Carbonaro Effect", and at least a few more. I can't pretend I have any suggested future path TruTV should take, but I don't think anyone else does either, they're a former courtroom/forensic drama channel turned in to comedy almost exclusively.
