Hodge is not in a position to dictate to producers what the Cross production team would do to bring this project to market, especially bringing it to Amazon, which had brand new digital content leadership and very little experience. There are so many spoons digging in that pot that there would be nothing on his spoon to taste. Actors come to projects with plenty of (actor-y/cultural/political) ideas and most, if not all, are placated in conversation and disregarded in practice. The best that happens is that the production and its acting talent are (insert your cause) “aligned.” Personally, I couldn’t stomach the show past the second episode. The self-serious, defund the police narrative was embarrassingly shallow with no moral center (or nuance) to the arguments presented - just more permissive, White liberal blah, blah, placating Black rage for a cheap buck If the show improved, let me know.
I stumbled onto these clips from a past season of the CBS sitcom "The Neighborhood": Context? I have no idea what TV show that clip is from.
AMC has put out trailers & a preview featurette for the upcoming season 2 of "Mayfield Witches" over the last couple months: Reading the replies it looks the scene is from the Apple TV+ Sports Dramedy series "Ted Lasso".
I watched the first half of S1 of the MW and opted out because the villain had no charisma or appeal. The brother, who had a significant role, seems marginalized with the new cast additions. Ben Feldman appears to be the new romantic lead/counterpoint to the villain, which - to my thinking - puts the brother on the outside looking in. I find these shows untrustworthy when it comes to BM.
