Is this the one that Obama was like "yep confirmed, this is real. So watch out lmao"? Idk if he was just playin lol. Im tired. So thanks Obama for easing us in?

Not sure how I feel about them aging down the Black couple so much, I think them being seniors added to their character's vulnerability and highlighted how ridiculous it was for the white couple to mistrust them so much.

But at least the show won't have any of the borderline pedophilic descriptions of the young daughter's pubic region so it's going to be better than the book by default. It pisses me off that this book gets so much hype considering how creepy and misogynistic the writing is.

i am confused because i am pretty sure the black people are father/daughter and not a couple

OH, I didn't even clock the age difference in the trailer 😂 In the book the owners of the vacation home are a retired Black couple.

Like in a good way or a "this narrative makes me uncomfortable" kind of way.
