Michael K though (still miss him)
It was good until it was bad bad

Stupid. Their loss. Broadwalk Empire was really good. It was what it was from what I can remember at that time (esp it popularized the undercut haircut, it’s been a to-go staple now for decades after the show)

The casting for this show was stellar. And it goes without saying he would've been a great addition to it.

But historical accuracy is such a bullsh*t reason to give, when for example the whole character of the iconic Chalky White was mainly fictionalized. (Michael K Williams <3)

[peddlestools]

he was so good in everything he was in

[bellwetherr]

michael k. williams was honestly such a huge fucking loss

Twitter is pissed he married a white dude.

[matsjhummels]

Why do they suddenly care, they’ve been together for almost 20 years 💀

[trendsnational]

It’s been a discourse on twitter and he happened to be brought up after the Color Purple came out and ppl were asking if he was single.

they’re clearly at home on vacation and bored because i’m confused lol

I was obsessed with this show then towards the end I started to lose interest I just realized I never saw the ending of the series. I remember watching the last season but I have no idea how the show ended

[tigermilk]

The ending was ridiculous.

I finished it to finish it but my heart wasn’t in it after Harrow.

I watched the first two seasons with a lot of interest, 3 I just watched if someone else in the house was watching, and then after that I stopped. Rosetti was just... a cartoon character, IMO, and kind of made me realize that the show was getting sloppy.
