Lena Waithe’s “Master of None” Could’ve Settled for Being Black and Beautiful, But It Chose Complicated Instead

The third season Master of None eschews any clean, simple picture. When a happy love story about Black lesbians in love would have been easier, instead it holds up a mirror of what we don’t like to see.

“Pose” Episode 304 Recap: Home Free

I’m wrestling with holding a desire to respect and honor the stories of love, resilience, sacrifice and unfair, unjust, cruel death that is the truth of queer history and simultaneously, frustration at media that seems to prioritize trauma narratives and spectacles of pain over world making and future dreaming.
