It’s funny because I started writing about the issues that stem from the decision to make Kindred FX a multi-season show and the many other unnecessary changes they made, and I was agreeing with a lot of the criticism. But lately I’ve been seeing complaints about stuff that’s either straight from the book or that seem to miss the point. Things like “Dana should be transitioning smoothly because she knows about slavery from books and tv” or “I wouldn’t be selfish like Dana, I would do xyz better,” and it’s like. Yes some of Dana’s mistakes are a little too dumb to feel believable but at the same time? People thinking they have complete and accurate knowledge of slavery because of media and giving staunch moral judgements about how slaves behaved is literally what prompted the writing of the book. I don’t know, I might end up having to defend the show a little too.
