The episode is really good. The chemistry between Zendaya and Colman is great. Just the whole conversation between Rue and Ali is thought provoking.

The episode was good and thought provoking. It definitely added some layers to the show that weren’t there previously. I throughly enjoyed it.

Twitter streets saying this episode sucks...

I thought it was good. But I can understand why people didn’t like it. But the episode was very much laid out there for you to ingest all at once. Especially because Ali never sugarcoats with Rue. It was pretty fitting. Plus if it was like the last season, the conversation would’ve felt...not as sincere.

I liked the episode. It was thought provoking, Ali was amazing, and we got a clear look into Rue's head. I think Sam did a great job.

I get why people were upset cause there weren't intense visuals and makeup, but chill out. These bridge episodes were always filmed as a way to see where certain characters were at.

This episode was painfully beautiful. I think Twitter didn’t like it because there wasn’t any “action” or xes and they probably can’t relate to the relationship between Rue and Ali. This episode was deeper and more emotional but in a really dark way. I hope it sets the tone for the season. Addiction is layered. It’s never just one thing.

ETA: Make sure you watch “inside the episode” afterwards. It will help make their intentions more clear.

Rue has a dream sequence before the diner setting. She’s waking up Jules with kisses up her back and on her face. Jules is talking about her presentation. She starts to get ready and Rue is just watching her from the bed, before she heads out. Then Rue gets some pills from under the mattress, crushes them, snorts them bad bois.

She’s suddenly in the diner bathroom rubbing her nose and she walks towards Ali at the booth. He asks her how she’s doing. She’s just saying whatever sounds good, but then he catches her in a lie. And she’s looking like oop the jig is up. He tells her he knows she’s high. They talk about various topics but it all kind of comes to a head to the main topic which is addiction. They talk about civil rights, BLM, how these companies say they care but they’re only saying that because it makes them money. They talk about addiction, mental health, Rue’s fights with her mom. Rue’s “relationship” with Jules. You get a backstory on Ali and his daughters. It’s a lot. I’m actually gonna rewatch it today to fully digest it all. Sam did the damn thing on this episode.
I’m watching it now. The actor playing Ali is so good.
Yes! Colman Domingo is great. He has that kinda voice where you just wanna stop and listen.

How many bridge episodes will there be?
Just two. I believe the next one is Jules focused.

I thought it was great too. People wanna watch about the addiction to see the “fun” in it but the minute they see the anguish and the cold hard truth of what it does to a person, then they say it’s boring. They also gotta remember it was filmed when quarantine restrictions weren’t as lax as they are now. But I thought Sam knocked it out the park with this episode. I thought everyone would’ve gotten something out of this episode. People use things to cope with their mental issues, some people it’s drugs(yes even weed too can be abused), alcohol, xes, video games, social media. Anything really. Especially if you have an addictive way, and everyone’s rock bottom is different. Some people see the ugly side of how something changed them earlier than others.

unfortunately for rue I think we haven’t seen the ugly side yet. We saw glimpse but she hasn’t hit rock bottom.

idk I can talk about this stuff all day haha

Imo, this was the saddest episode. Some of the things Ali told Rue hit me hard, especially when he asked her how she wanted to be remembered after passing. Great chemistry between the actors.

When she said "I really don't plan on being here that long" crushed my soul.

On a lighter note: When Ali ask Rue about Jules and their relationship, I bout died when she said "Well, made out after the carnival and like being together" "What do you mean did we talk about it, why would we talk about it"

Rueeee baby, no lmao.

I can't wait to see the Jules side of this, they clearly weren't on the same page status wise.

This episode was beautifully done and deep. Ali is such an amazing character and Zendaya did a great performance.

When she said "I don't plan on being here much longer" I felt that...I relate to Rue so much despite not being an addict or having loss a parent to illness but I relate to her mentality and feelings.

Just a beautifully written episode with deep quotes. Can't really put it into words

Anybody remember the episode of Underground that featured a full hour-long episode of Aisha Hinds playing Harriett Tubman giving a speech.

I loved the episode. Especially Rue’s POV regarding the death of her dad and “purpose”. I am not an atheist myself, but I can totally understand & relate to how still feeling the anger of losing a parent can lead you to dark places emotionally and mentally. Like others have said in this thread, a lot of the teen viewers were upset because this wasn’t a ‘xes, drugs and rock n’ roll’ type of episode, but I truly enjoyed it. Both actors were amazing. Even the waitress, she managed to be powerful through her few lines also.

I do remember that. I am still upset at how they canceled the show before we really got to see that storyline fleshed out.

Like another font said, anyone can take something from this episode. Personally, when they spoke on spirituality that touched me. It wasn't until an experience I had a couple years ago, I realized my mortality. I had to start really believing in something bigger than myself to cope.

Excellent episode. When Ali spoke on the spiritual revolution and having to recreate god, I felt that so deeply.

I’m rewatching now. It was a fantastic episode. IMO the best written episode they’ve ever done. The dialogue about drug addiction was spot on. Colman is an incredible actor. Zendaya is fantastic as well.
