A really interesting dramedy about a group of black students at a prestigious university who listen to and/or or interact with the host of Dear White People, a radio show on the university’s station.
I like the unique storytelling method of looking at the same situations from different characters perspectives while at the same time moving the storyline forward. This was a good looking movie. They did a great job on the production design and costuming. And politically speaking, I like how it shows that black activism comes in varying degrees and forms, and uses differing strategies.
I had heard and seen the name Dear White People before this TV show and I somehow got it mixed up. Turns out there was a movie DWP (HA!) in 2014. I plan on checking that out from the library soon. There is also a book, which I may or may not read. I’m a terribly slow reader as the title of this blog might lead you to infer.
I’m giving the TV show Dear White People four stars**** because I already want to watch it again and I thought it was done really well and in a unique way. I’m not ready to call it a favorite, but it is really good.
This is a Netflix original series, and I watched it on Netflix.
