i feel like akinnuoye-agbaje quitting and the showrunner wanting to punish his decision to quit with a lynching and genital mutilation death scene should prob be bolded even if they didnt actually put that in the show. the fact that the showrunners first thought was wanting that for the death scene ummm????

mte, when i read it earlier that was the part that really stuck out to me and had to scroll back up this post to make sure it was highlighted

i feel so bad for adewale because the writers were also making racist jokes about him :/

I think it's partly reference to HBO show OZ? Adewale played Simon Adebisi on OZ, and in first season they had a character who was killed, had his dick cut off and put in his throat. But still, what a horrible thing to say.

Okay, I'm glad I dropped this show early in the second season itself because what in the racist torture porn hell...

Honestly, this vile, KKK level quote should be a career ender for Carlton Cuse.
