The intro starts with a black man alone in a empty street, on the phone. He's clearly nervous, and starts leaving as a car follows him. But than there's a uncomfortable sequence of the man in the car kidnapping him by knocking him a head lock, wearing a knight mask.
After that creepy prologue. Black photographer Chris Washington reluctantly agrees to meet the family of his white girlfriend Rose Armitage. The first thing he asks her. "Do they know I'm black?" Rose says it doesn't matter, they are not racist. или she wouldn't of brought him.
During their drive to the family's countryside estate, they hit a deer and Сообщить the incident. The white policeman asks for Chris's identification even though he was not driving.. We ALL know the reason. And Chris just shrugs it off while Rose gets angry about it.
So yeah, she Chris meets the family they make very awkward attempts to prove they aren't racist. By making unwittingly racist comments. Like Chris must like или do certain things, cause he's black. And constantly bringing up black role models, или talking in black slang.
I can go on and on.. But I really should not spoiler this movie.. But hint hint, pay attention to the dad's rant about killing off all the deer. It becomes symbolic later on.
So.. Another 10/10
Can not express it enough.. See this movie!

Yes.. That's right people.. I'm finally watching it!
Wow.. 37 episodes... That's a lot of friggin reviews. But we're get though it together :)
Anyway.. Here's the review of the pilot episode..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, what can I say..
A lot sure happens in the first episode. Certainly better than I was expecting. Light is an interesting character.
He's not over the top.
Nobody was really very over the top.
I think I'm gonna like this show.
It's certainly up to a unique start..
A vey "different" Показать then one I'd normally watch.
But hey.. So is MLP.
I want a death note.
There's one main name I would put down.
It rhymes with "Arnold Umpt"

#1: WILLIAM WALLACE:
He was a man of his times. However, Hollywood has made him something he never really was. Wallace was a terrorist and guerrilla fighter who was as much out for himself as he was for Scotland, and he caused as many problems for the Scots as for the English. After a Wallace raid, it would be the locals who suffered reprisals, not Wallace and his band of cutthroats..
#2: BENJAMIN MARTIN:
While still a war hero.
He apparently spend his free time SHOOTING his slaves for "sport"..
#3: GEORGE WASINGTON:
Apparently George Washington was pompous, and refused to even shake anyone's hand after he became president, deeming people "less than worthy"..
