I am so grateful to W. Kamau Bell for doing this series, but is anyone else hyperventilating, having a panic attack, and developing a migraine just watching it?
It's funny, but it's so very not funny. I'm seriously getting physically ill and don't think I can keep watching it.
I know people like this exist, but watching them so raw is another thing altogether.

(6,592 posts)I just started watching the series. It was an episode about the South and the KKK.
Watching the next one about San Quentin, which I find also interesting but less traumatic, at least so far.
I grew up not only in deep East Texas, but within the Texas prison system (as the child of an employee).

(22,917 posts)I don't have the panic features when I watch as you described, but was crying pretty much nonstop watching the prison episode last week.
Excellent show.
