They don't try to make a comparison between Nazis and Trump supporters. The show is typical modern Hollywood woke in that they add in a lesbian romance and lots of 1970s black power through a few characters. I am ok looking past that if it's a good well told story but one of the main characters goes on a rant in the end blaming the government and white people for creating a big mess by bringing Nazi scientists over after the War. People are entitled to be critical of that in hindsight I guess but I don't see how it was a racial issue and seemed ridiculous when she said it.


I think it's more the "there could be hidden nazis among us" angle that needs to be examined. That's what I meant by the implication. Sort of like a McCarthyesque witch hunt, but a Nazi hunt instead. Kind of concerning when the people in the show appear to be normal white people at first glance

I'm not much a fan of the infused political crap they put in it.

"Mama are you a super hero?"
"I'm a black women in America baby. Superheroes ain't got nothing on me."

Like really? Was that needed at all? The show is about revenge for the genocide of the Jewish people ffs

Even though I enjoyed Jordan Peele's comedy in the past. Once I saw it was produced by him, I had a feeling the movie would have heavy political undertones instead of just hunting nazi bad guys. Judging by some of the comments in this thread, I'll have to pass on this one.

Sounds like garbage created by circle jerking liberals to me. Serious question, do they actually come out and compare these nazis to Trump supporters or is it just vaguely implied?

I have a feeling Jordan Peele genuinely despises white people and thinks they are inherently bad. Not the uber liberal elitists that he mingles with at Hollywood cocktail parties, obviously, but normal every-day white people. And that has nothing to do with him saying he would never cast a white guy as lead in any of his movies (apparently this isn't racist if it's a non-white guy saying it).
That's exactly the vibe that I got from the Trailer. Seems almost identical as The Hunt trailer.

Gonna pass on this one.

So what's up with the young black girl saying "whites people" twice when asked "how to identify nazis"

That doesn't strike anyone as weird?

It is weird and doesn't fit a plot about Holocaust revenge and that's what turned me off. They have a good premise for a show and when that part starts to get good they throw in some whitey hate that seems completely out of place and unnecessary in the show. Much of the time the statements don't even make sense when they say it.

Seems like a lot of the complaints about this show revolve around it not being what viewers think it *should* be. Which really makes sense to me because it was all over the map from a directional standpoint. I liked a lot of pieces of the show and story and characters and devices, but none of those pieces really worked together from a holistic viewpoint.

Also, just kind of fed up with the routine digs at "white people" or "white people who disagree with me politically" in movies like this. I am sick of being told to feel guilty bc I am white...or even worse, a white male. That used to work on me when I was in elementary and middle school in the 90's but not these days. True, I haven't seen the movie, and never will...but it's bc I have heard it includes these types of themes from numerous sources.

I'd be totally on board with a solid nazi revenge movie. I absolutely despise racists. Jordan Peele comes across as a true racist to me.

Any time a show is described as being "Tarantino-like" you know it is going to be dog *****

Quite the shocker that Boo Weekly is not a fan of Jordan Peele. I'm sure it was a real hard internal test deciding whether you really really loved the college bowl game player intro sketch or really really hated the description you read online of Get Out.

But yes, Peel totally hates white people, though, including his wife and kid.
I believe he despises normal every day white Americans. Not his Jewish leftist wife from San Fran and NYC of course, or the limp wristed white leftists who fawn over him at Hollywood cocktail parties.

It's ok, much of the Hollywood left despises most ordinary white Americans in "flyover country"...not just him. But they still expect us to line up and give them money.

"Get Out" was actually great and very entertaining imo. But I was hoping it was a one-off anti-whitey movie from him. After seeing these themes in multiple movies and hearing that he is a closed minded racist f***, I have zero respect for him.

Zero clue what you are talking about with the college bowl player intro sketch. And not sure why you'd assume I hated Jordan Peele? I used to like him, until I found out he was a racist.

Man this thread has taken a turn.

I actually enjoy the show and think it's pretty well done. It's not an all time great TV show but it's entertaining and I enjoy watching it.

I loved it! Just finished last night and one of my favorite Prime shows thus far.

I have a hard time understanding all the hate on this thread, you do realize the primary protagonists are all white correct? Jewish for sure but white.

Ah well to each his own but ruling this out because it is "anti-white" is causing you to miss a really good show.

Yeah, I've enjoyed it. I still like Bosch and The Boys better, but it's been entertaining.

I thought th show was mediocre even without the whitey hate. The plot was absurd, thousands of Nazis have settled secretly in America and have a master plot to..... create poisoned corn syrup to kill minorities and inferior races? So do the Nazis think only Jews, black people, and other inferior races eat sweets? Cartoonishly bad like something from an old Super Friends Saturday cartoon.

Amicus, that's what bothered me. I hate people who opine on things that they haven't watched first hand so my wife and I watched the entire series. It seemed like the "white people are bad and may be Nazi" angle was the primary driver of the series and everything else came second. That was further reinforced when I saw the clips about the little girl saying "white people" were how to identify nazis. It's troublesome

The corn syrup plot would hit the low income population harder but not only that population. I agree it is a bit of a silly way to spread out a poison if you are trying to kill only specific populations.

I thought the little Lonny sketch with the black girl was hilarious. I found the little comic interludes jarring in the first few episodes but once I figured out that they were basically day dream/flashback kinds of segment I liked the comic relief.

Look at who he is married to, this will explain a part of his hatred of whites. The rest of it came from his own hatred.

In Hollywood, it is ALWAYS a reference to white people now. The only time you don't get the Nazi label is if you're a literal communist. Normal American family man in the suburbs who has a white wife and kids? He must be up to something nefarious so he must be a Nazi! He cares about culture and traditions so he must be a Nazi!

They talk about saving America from Nazis yet we all know they ****ing despise this country and want to destroy it. They hate everything about this country and want to see it gone. This is why these shows are so damn transparent in their intentions.

I have a new complaint - the timeline.

Events are set in 1977 and Jonah is 19, right? So he was born in 1958? And the earliest year Jonah's mom could have been born would have been 1945, so that would have made her 13 when she died in childbirth? Is that right?

I did the math and had serious questions.aboutbthat as well. Assuming he was 19 or 20 at the oldest and there are still problems.

About halfway through and I'm really enjoying it, it is a bit absurd but it's fun and there's some great characters. You can tell Josh Radnor had way too much fun on this show.

Has been pretty dark for my tastes but okay so far.

This all seems kind of ironic to me considering that probably 95%+ of Americans that fought and died to destroy Nazi Germany were white, male, Christians.
