Show Me A Hero
« on: August 25, 2015, 08:24:55 am »
This is an HBO mini-series about the racial tensions that occur when a white neighborhood is integrated in the 80s. I haven't watched it yet but I'm very interested. Have any of you seen it? What are your thoughts?

I've been watching it since I like Oscar Isaac. Some times I find it a little slow paced but it is interesting. I think it's worth checking out if you can. The last part of the series airs next Sunday.

No I haven't seen it. This is the 1st time I have heard of it. Does sound like a good storyline. I will have to check the schedules or look on demand. BMaston12

Haven't heard of it either.  Sounds very interesting, although, with all the racial tensions today are we not supposed to be painting ourselves with a neutral brush so that we quit noticing the differences in our heritages?  Nothing keeps a wound open like poking at it.  Guess I just don't understand how we can all be alike if we keep pointing out and thriving on our differences.
