hate the fact that jeremy pope is getting tv roles but so far it's just ryan murphy employing him uugggghhh

[ljtryout]

omg. why?! I really liked him in Hollywood. Is her problematic?

[lonesomes]

oh no i LOVE him lmao!! he's so talented and he's been a fave of mine ever since choir boy. i just want him to be in other things outside of ryan murphy stuff.

[ljtryout]

ohhh! lol.

Well, think of Ryan Murphy as a stepping stone for better things to come.

Anybody said gay poc superhero?

laura harrier not being able to act really stuck a wrench in the entire plot for me. the blonde girl was acting trapezoids around her

[analievelyn]

"thrive within her limits" screaminggggg

she seems to be coasting on being a pretty light skin girl. Idk if she's proven herself to be talented in other projects tho

I think she was given this role soley because she has the classic 1950s look. Her character was underdeveloped and she could not rise above the material given. The fact that they tried to pass of her character as the "best actress" was laughable. It's actually an insult to the actresses that inspired her character like Dorothy Dandrige and Lena Horne.

God this show was an absolute mess. Terrible acting from everyone, anyone saying otherwise is a stan. The writing... atrocious. Ryan Murphy showing off how talentless he is. Was Rock Hudson known to be a dumb? They wrote him to be stupid as shit and I was confused.

I hated every second, yet I binged the whole thing in a day. I don't know why.

Hate watching things is what has gotten me thru a lot of days of this quarantine.

....like most Ryan Murphy things for me. I complain about how crap it is and yet I watch them all...

Loved Pose S1 though. Not managed to watch S2 yet.

[3rdattemptuser]

he has very little involvement in Pose that's why it's so good.

Archie was the best part of the show and by far the best actor.

OP, could you add the Black celebs tag plz? :)

Thoughts on Laura Harrier? I havent watched but she seems like a terrible actress. always looks sleepy

[just444]
