I loved it! The modern music and spin on this timeless tale were just awesome for my mother and I. My favorite part was Billy Porter's Fabulous Godmother. Oh his performance was flawless and nothing less than stellar! If he could've had another number or 2 that would've been amazing 👏🏾. I loved Camilla Cabella too, so beautiful and charming she was. The Prince Robert was everything! King Rowan played by Pierce Brosnan was great as well.

As both a therapist and Minister, this film was hard to get into for a long time as I watched. It was problematic for me in many ways. The "Wizard of Oz" like tone, I kinda figured was happening, was my first issue. I figured Mack was somewhere between life and death to have "seen God" and experienced the Holy trinity over a weekend. I didn't find the movie great. He worked thru what was needed in his soul the most in a weekend, and this whole process would take months of therapy, and lots of prayers. Seeing God as a black woman was a few things for me, I thought the woman was a comfort figure from Mack's life, and it can represent God being how and whomever you need Him to be, as well as how God can be seen in ppl and the love they display and character. However, as a black woman myself, it also felt a bit questionably racist that she was cooking all this food and being so motherly. What was that about? I guess it was what he needed because this person was non-threatening and made him feel safe as a kid, since his own mother could not. Seems like he saw her as his "safe place", in his mind. She made him pie and encouraged him to talk to God. He also appeared as a Native American man. I loved this part. I did love how God appeared in 3 persons as different kinds of ppl, that what Mavk saw was a reflection of his own heart. That made it beautiful by the end. This movie was definitely for the deep thinkers and processors. I also absolutely loved non-traditional Jesus. He was my favorite character, and challenged me to think on many things in Christianity, which was created after his death, burial and resurrection, yet not decided by him. It truly bought illumination, and revelation, and things to consider I had not before.

This show is actually pretty good. I'm a lifelong TP fan and I love the Oval. As a therapist, getting the opportunity to see a dramatized presentation of cult life is truly fascinating. The storyline is really good, and there's so much stuff the ppl are doing they know isn't right, yet they're afraid to question it. I'm a huge fan of shows like Law and Order SVU, and other police procedural, but rarely do u see an entire series focused from the perspective of the cult. The FBI is on the outside trying to get in, but ppl suspect there's something not right. No one can prove it. It's so interesting, and addictive, but a lot of hard stuff to process and watch. I wouldn't recommend a binge of it because it's pretty heavy and dark, but it's a very focused plot. It's good and quite deliberate.
