This particular episode and scene hurt me to my core. It was so painful, disturbing, and horrific to watch. Plus to think that people experienced that generations after generations and till this day may continue to face such tremendous levels of pain and trauma.
@@ronswanson398stop it bro. No one is grabbing little black babies and beating them around in a pillowcase anymore. Stop making white people out to be devils bro, we not going forward with thinking like this
This was the most haunting scenes of all time. I couldn’t believe it and I was sick! I could barely watch. But this is something that was happening at one point and has been erased from history which is so sad and heartbreaking. I’ve never experienced anything quite like this
@@kimikawp7533 Am I really surprised? And people have the nerve to say racism is over. I’m mixed with Hispanic and black so, double homicide. (😭) My spainsh and black family members not only get picked on, because they live in the Bronx, but because of color or their hair texture, or just something stupid. I’m so tired of my black brothers and sisters, getting killed. 🤦🏽♀️
This honestly reminds me why I need to keep writing, especially as a black person. We need more black creators to tell our story. Them was phenomenal story. Everybody did their part and the show was just amazing. Kudos to everybody involved from the actors, to the writers, to the camera people…loved the show.
My grandmother had her first child in 1954 and this show helped me to completely understand her perspective of white people and their ideals on superiority. She’ll be 95 in June. Born in 1926, I get it now.
After ep 5 i had to take a break because it was traumatising but i decided to finish it off a few days later. The acting was on point and Deborah is beautiful. That little baby is so cute
Everything she said about the scene is great. I mean what i took from it was raw horror and this and worse happens to people. People need to know about it
Yesterday I decided not to watch anymore. I was so angry and hurt. It's bad enough they hurt her, but when they hurt that beautiful chocolate boy......I couldn't.
And that dear Director you have achieved...Them was amazingly grippingly good to watch...my wish and hope is to see more amazing black actors, director, producers and writers come together to bring artistic movies, series or shows such as this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I know horrible stuff did happen in the past but I don’t know how anyone can watch this scene in full today, and be ok afterwards. Took a few days to get my mind right.
Cause that scene was like she said also made for people who have experienced themselves its not fun to watch no but good to be potrayed so others can maybe understand what we went through
@@EH-so3rp You missed my point. I fully believe that events of the past should be portrayed as to give those, who are ignorant of such events, insight as to how life was for us. However, many people have shrugged it off as "just tv," and have been unable to see past the theatrics. This scene should cause anyone in their right mind to just pause for a few days....
@@trob1063our minds are all different, where as you see a disturbing film, I see a scene acted by actors. You grasp the scenes in a way where you try to put it in an irl scenario where's I don't at all. Yes the scene was disturbing and to put it lightly... fucked up but I don't need a few says to get over it.
She says she wanted the scene to feel raw and honest, to make someone who’s experience it to feel seen or heard…no this will or probably made them just relive the trauma
No its exactly as she said makes it feel like others can maybe understand what it was like for victims who went through it and i honestly can say she did an amazing job i didnt enjoy watching it but it made me feel real emotion and understood
Essa certamente foi a cena mais brutal que vi em toda minha vida, não conseguia respirar, não conseguia parar de assistir esperando que algo bom viesse a acontecer... parabéns ao elenco e ao diretor!
Gave me a PTSD, i wake up at night after watching this episode 😢 why did it happen why such people exist and how could they live with it and get away with it
Let me just say I learnt quiet abit watching this series,some episodes were more painful to watch than others, I can't believe black people actually went through this hell at some point. And to think there were/ are people that are actually so evil is way beyond my wildest imagination. But all in all we keep fighting and we keep winning. God is in control. #that lady is so beautiful 💕👑.
I got to visit the Blacks in Wax museum in Maryland. One of the exhibits there included photographs of actual lynchings. Like, people being hanged, tarred and feathered, tortured, while families had a picnic and watched like it was just a county festival. They would do awful things and it was just another Tuesday for them. And now they don’t want us to talk about that history because some of those people or their children (not even grandchildren, but children) are still alive and embarrassed by the truth of who they really are.
This was probably the most disturbing show I’ve ever watched. Like I couldn’t even finish it to the end , it just progressively got more traumatizing as the episodes went on. It’s just too dark.
She is gorgeous and such wonderful actress! This scene was horrifying and gut wrenching! It also made me upset and sad; I wanted those murders to be caught and tortured to death!
This scene absolutely shattered and disgusted me. My own baby is about this age and it’s absolutely gut wrenching to even think about. Even more terrifying to think that things like this actually happened, and to a lesser degree STILL happen.
There were no retaliation on the perpetrators. Little Marvin dropped the ball on this one. Doing harm to women through rape is horrible but to put the torture and killing of a black baby in the script speaks of an very incompetent producer who care more about shock values and torture porn than he cares about keeping a strong black storyline and keeping as black audience
I agree and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it as I’m not black. Like maybe there’s some meaning I’m missing. But it does seem just needlessly traumatic. Any sane person will be scarred for life by this.
this show was great each character was great this series was about facing your fears and guilt for example the demon's we're all a depiction on what each character problem was for 1.the mom and the tall hat man the mom being sexual assaulted and watched, her baby get murder in front of her, she surfers from PTS and depression this is why she doesn't seem to trust white people for that reason. As for her ghost the man with the tall hat is also a depiction of pts hatred giving that he lost his family and also hates black people because of his fear of that they are evil and uses black magic. The dad's trauma is being pts and anger giving the fact of the hardships of what he went through during his service in the military and what he is facing as a black man in that time period, his ghost the man with the black face represents the Father's trauma the man in the black face wants the father to kill and he do this by reminding the dad of what happened to his son. Overall each ghost represents the characters mental and the characters conquerors their fears/mental health at the end. Overall this show was good it had many flaws that I noticed and amazing character development. In my opinion it was a 9/10
Where was the redemption from this hell? When I see a black narrative with this much darkness I want redemption. I’m still traumatize form seeing this. Some people compare it to Love Craft County but I feel that there was a positive message over all in that series. This needed a light at the end of the tunnel. One that reflects that you can overcome great obstacles. Obviously in life there are wrongs that never see justice. As fare as the narrative goes they definitely dropped the ball. The actors where amazing. The production and characters where exceptional. Give it purpose. I don’t know one person who ever lived who doesn’t know trauma.
There's a season 2 coming soon. But understand this for our people many times there was no redemption. The people who had their black towns burned to the ground and their land stolen and families murdered, there was no "light at the end of the tunnel". When we see a Holocaust film and people are gased where's the light. This is life. Sometimes evil things happen to good people and the redemption is on the other side where we don't see it
I didn't think there was any meaning behind the baby's murder. It was something traumatic, horrible, that scarred the mother. Is she in the wrong for being traumatized and sad? Who of us would come unscratched from that?
@TheLavlishus the reason I’m pissed is because it’s a horror show and not a realistic documentary. Neither is it written by black people or directed by black people (one or two don’t count). The show is not necessary. I’m glad and respect that you’re okay with it, but please respect that I am not okay with it and nothing can convince me otherwise. So many sections of horror could’ve been explored, but this the mess they chose.
This series was awful. The story was all over the place and the ending offered no explanation. The first 3 episodes got me hooked and it was ALL downhill from there unfortunately.
I just don't understand why they make movies like this soo evil... so disgusting about baby dying like that I never seen this movie I can't because of short films I see on TicTok , it's so sad Evil
