David Makes Man

This show is refreshing-people who says it's slow, just don't get it. Sometimes slow is better.

Great character development across the board. I feel like I know each character. I hope this show finds its audience. It takes its time and OWN should allow it to do just that.

Extraordinary cast and acting. One of the best tv shows i've ever seen. Amazing character development.

I did not at first know what to make of the show. Its not a gangster show, its not just a drama, its not just quasi-artistic/metaphysical portrayal of David and others.

Its a quite interesting weave of various genres, quality production and pretty entertaining storyline that draws you into the next episode.

However the biggest complaint for me is the horribly chaotic potrayal of characters. One times theyre like this a moment later theyre completely different and acting totally out of what you saw a moment ago.

Also the jumping in and out of various narratives, abstract moments, symbolysm and metaphores is too often too out of sync and forced. It just doesnt flow and isnt intuitivly comprehensive.

All in all in many ways above average show somewhat ruined by behaviour of characters that too often changes to fit the writer's idea/storyline rather than the other and logical way around.

The first season was epic and quality acting and writing on all accounts. Now the second season is a train wreck. There is just no way to explain the insanity of the direction the show has taken. The time jump was highly unnecessary. David's condition seems to be this on going mission to make naturally intelligent well educated Black dysfunctional. The only Blackmen on television seem to need a hood undertones. Don't understand why they are purposely attempting to cancel this show form within.
