[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved how in the end it was a black woman that "saved" her. [/quote] I was cringing at this trope. The Magical African American Friend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro[/quote] I think it’s pretty clear the writers were aware of the trope and avoided it. [/quote] I don't think they avoided it at all. I think they had Jolene say "I am definitely not a magical negro friend!" to try to obviate the tropes but it didn't work. I still loved the show. It got weaker as it went on, for sure - like, no one in the whole show had a life outside of paying attention to Beth and trying to help her, and/or worship her - but we couldn't hit "play next episode" fast enough all the same. And those CLOTHES.[/quote]
