Down Bad

I attempted to watch this show. No real plot. It was like watching paint dry. It' seen that the show was just put together with no real direction. Very low budget.

I have never seen a camera used this way before, dwelling lovingly on each frame as though loathe to move on, creating a sense of intimate space in which real emotions can reveal themselves.

I do value the subtitles that make a pathway for me to identify with the characters. The last episode is inexplicably surreal - who is alive and who is dead? How could this or that have happened? There seems to be a missing episode.

The story as it unfolds slowly seems too real to be a tv show. But the director is on top of every shot. A joy to watch, even though the story is cruel.

All I want from this series is more of it. Every actor lives their role; there are no false notes or self-indulgent histrionics for the camera. But why....?

This was a great story with excellent characters that contrasted each other well. I usually rate movies on IMDB only but this show made me leave a review. This show is very niche which may cause a lot of the choices made by the production team to come across as odd or unfitting. Being originally from Mississippi myself, the slang and the way these characters did things were so real that if the director isn't from the area, someone around him is. I think if the budget was bigger this show would've been talked about by everyone. This is a real hidden gem that I'm glad I accidentally discovered.

This is an indie show that's a delight to find. This reminded me of how me and my friends growing up and the interactions, dialogue and situations are authentic. I can see this show being a mixed bag for some people but for me it felt so real and genuine. The blend of comedy while tackling some very serious subject matter was genius by the writers of this show. I would love to see a second season.

So far I like this show it puts me in the mindset of boys n the hood or menace to society definitely entertaining I cnt wait to see the story unfold...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
