#East New York

[nativemindstate]

Following three generations of East New Yorkers; a debut, coming-of-age novel that mixes magical realism and the Southern Gothic--for readers of Jesmyn Ward and Jamel Brinkley.

Taking place over thirty years, We Are a Haunting follows a family of East New Yorkers struggling to maintain a connection to their history. Grandma Audrey, herself a living ancestor among the speaking dead, is about to lose her apartment; her indelible and vivacious daughter Key dies young after serving the Black women of her neighborhood, leaving behind a grieving son, Colly, who holds deep-seated disdain for a community to which he has no choice but to be accountable.

Going back to the '80s, we see Key's life consisting of nightclubs and enchantment. While training as a doula, she discovers that for her, the dead are much closer than expected and learns how to speak both to and for them, forming a connection between passed and living family members. After her death, Colly soon discovers that he shares the same sacred gift his mother had.

His expulsion from school forces Colly across town, where he forges an understanding of how friendship, family, and community foster love in places where it may seem inherently and systemically impossible. After college, Colly returns to East New York to work with community organizers addressing structural neglect and the crumbling NYCHA blocks; to do what he can for the people that mean the most to him.

With a singular combination of urban fiction, the supernatural, and social critique, Tyriek White depicts the palpable, breathing essence of outer borough New York City with lyricism and deep significance.

CBS will be delayed tonight

There is more than eight-minutes left in a very close game.  This is going to take a while.

I do like crime dramas and cop shows, though I watch far less these days because my tolerance for the bullshit is so low. But I grew up on them, I enjoy the format and the style.

I always say copaganda isn't copaganda to me because I know it's bullshit and I think most see that at this point.

But this post-uprising, post-2020, copaganda might be pretty dangerous because it's aiming to show that police reform works and it doesn't. It's still bullshit but it's far less obvious.

We're like two tv seasons away from an ABC series called Refund the Police about a department being completely defunded and a city's residents acting like it's the fucking purge (cause this is what cops act like 'defund the police' means) and the good old boys in blue desperately try to get their department back because they wanna protect the city they love and definitely live in soooo much.

Anyway, East New York's pilot is a little try-hard, as pilots tend to be. But the casting is phenomenal and I'm already a little obsessed with the lead's personality and I wanna know every single thing about her lol.

I can't believe CBS uncancelled S.W.A.T and sacrificed two new shows to give it a final shortened season to wrap up stories but not NCIS LA, which has multiple unfinished stories and has been on for 14 seasons not just 6. I was okay with S.W.A.T cancellation since the show was already ending storylines, I'm really curious to know what the unfinished stories are?

Haaai September!!

All my shows are coming back, yay!

(technically, not all, but... nvrmnd) I want to rate them from those I most want to see again, to those I will see, but will I care... 

First goes: The Cleaning Lady

Oh, boy, that first season knocked my socks off. It was clever, it was different, there was so much unexpected in it, in terms of storyline itself, but also on a meta level, in the thought behind the show.

It didn’t give me any hyperfixation, so there’s no nervous energy waiting for it. Just pure joy. 

Characters I love? Well, Arman Morales and Thony De La Rosa of course. But I love Thony’s friend Fiona so much as well, and her teenage son Chris, who I hope will have a bigger role this season, because the actor who plays him seems to be absolutely brilliant young rising star. Remember this name: Sean Lew. :)

Overall, it’s a 10/10

The rest goes under, because it got long-ish. ;p

The Rookie -- awaiting with excitement. :) I adore Lucy Chen. Tim Bradford has mild hyperfixation potential, but even without it, he��s a character I want to watch every week. And, after five years of slow burn, I’m ready to ship them. That’s my pace, lol. Also, I love all the friendships between various characters here. 9/10

The Resident -- I still like Matt Czuchry, and I hope to see some angst. It’s not a very angsty show, but it has its moments... Not sure what to expect. Not shipping anything romantically or friend-shippy, but if I were to choose, I’d rather he got closer with Billy, than with Cade. Oh. And I appreciate how they write Bell’s struggle with MS. Overall -- 9/10

NCIS Hawaii -- this is the show that has the biggest potential to disappoint me this season. It’s the show’s second season, so it’s almost a given. I have some thoughts which might be hyperfixation-inducing, but I’m not able to draw them out of very vague on-screen hints anymore. So. Not likely to happen (me ten years ago would have written ten fics already, though...). Between 2/10 and 8/10, ha...

Seal Team -- I will drop it. I’m only planning to watch the first couple of episodes. It’s not that I’m upset that Clay is leaving (dying?), but I cared about him the most, and the show as a whole won’t really keep my interest. 5/10 for those first couple of epis. ETA: apparently the first episode is already up, huh? 

Manifest -- I don’t even know why I started to watch it this summer, and I think this season is the show’s last? But I’ll see it through, lol. Out of the blue. 5/10

SWAT -- I’ll watch it probably out of habit, rather than anything else. I may drop it some time this season. 2/10

FBI -- out of habit. No emotional attachment. 0/10

I’m also watching Outlander and I freakin’ LOVE IT, but I’m on season 4, and I don’t even know when the new season starts. 10/10

And the new shows I will be giving chances...

The Ark -- who knows when? Do they even have a premiere date set? This looks like my kind of show, sci-fi, interesting characters. Can be exciting. May also flop...

Quantum Leap -- I watched the OG and I liked it back in the day, so I kind of have to give it a 4-episodes trial run.

East New York -- the premise got me curious, but if they don’t have any good-looking troubled male character, I’ll probably only give it a 4-episodes trial run. Unless it turns out really good.

So Help Me Todd -- this one I’m really curious about, mostly because of Marcia Gay Harden who I loved on Code Black. And the premise sounds like my cup of tea. We’ll see where it goes.

I wish a few people here were watching East New York because chilllllllle that last scene in 1x02 with Regina and the therapist was a vibe....a gay one. It's amazing what a woman can do with one look.

Also, Amanda Warren is so interesting to watch. She's hard to pin down in terms of where she wants this character to land. Maybe she just doesn't want Regina to fit any particular cop show trope.
