Fans of Donald Trump Best to Avoid This Episode

[IboChild · 7/10 · 4 December 2017]

This episode (written by Barry Michael Cooper) starts off with a montage of various characters as they react with horror and sadness on Election Day 2016 to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. It's a classic case of preaching to the converted and seems to have no useful purpose here except to express Spike Lee's contempt for Trump. Is this going to payoff in episodes nine or ten? I doubt it. What this episode is really about is that Nola Darling finds herself in a financial bind that may force her to leave her beloved Brooklyn. The stakes are clear, but for most of the episode, Nola seems ill-equipped emotionally to deal with it. It says a lot about Nola's character, but it doesn't make you want to root for her.
