Don’t do this:

Look, I get that people want Our Flag Means Death to get a second season. I think it’s tacky to make these kinds of tweets in response to shows like Barry or whatever, but like, I understand the passion, misdirected as it is.

But A Black Lady Sketch Show is literally the only show of its kind — even moreso than OFMD, it’s doing something no one else on television is doing, centering Black women as no other show does. And despite being hugely successful and a showcase for rising talent as well as established stars, it does not have the Tumblr Darling status of OFMD. (BTW, if you happen to now have HBO Max, you know what you could try watching? That’s right! A Black Lady Sketch Show! You might enjoy it!)

To flood the social media presence of one show with demands about a completely unrelated show is, as Spanish Jackie says, fuckin’ kinda gauche. To do this to the only show on TV right now that’s entirely about and by Black women? I think you know exactly what that is.
