Dear White People (Netflix)

So anyone actually watch this? Thought it was pretty good overall. Definitely suits this format better than film, which I thought was trying to cover way too many things at once before you even had a chance to get past the kind of crappy Wes Anderson influenced elements.

Is it all as millennial-soapy as the first episode?

Probably not quite as bad but doesn't tone it down hugely either, more that I got used to it (which the film never allowed me time to).

Seen the first 3, it's alright.

I quite enjoyed the film though.

Watched the first 3, not sure what to really make of it.  It's very Netflix and I'm not sure how to even describe that.  I suppose in some way like what I saw of Orange is the New Black - where if there's a message it's trying to get its head above the sea of sex scenes (and drowning).  It's certainly not heavy handed, I'll give it that!  It even seems to have a little pop at campus third wave feminists at one point.

It's definitely got a greater focus on campus politics in general than the film managed to pull off

IIRC, the sex scenes scale back hugely after the first episode centered around Journalist.
