A review by Sejian

Written on August 25, 2024

This show got an early 7/10 from me. The start was hella strong but it progressively went downhill faster than that time Neil Gaiman took over American Gods (2017) because Gods forbid a black man offend white people over slavery in America!

6/10 is the best rating I can give to Season 1, because as "good" as the Season 1 was, it suffers from the stupidity that became more prevalent in Season 2....
