Feminista Jones (aka Michelle) thinks Aldis Hodge's portrayal does justice to the author's brilliant police detective by leaning into the character's authenticity.
I have been one of thousands of #1 Aldis Hodge fans since Leverage and he has only grown in stature, except that this time, for the most part, he has had to display the standard superhero glare for most of the show. The violence against women was so graphic that I had to give up on the series in the middle of Episode 5 (my binge-watching surely made things even worse). The bright spot was the portrayal of a wonderful black family and those two adorable kids. I am still with you, Aldis! Why should Tom Cruise (or whoever) have all the fun?
I’m not Black but I am a longtime DC resident and I just can’t get past the fact that this series wasn’t filmed in DC and at some elemental level just doesn’t *feel* DC to me
