Here’s my thoughts on things:
-
I think we’re supposed to think the wife buried the maps in the husband’s grave, but IMHO it’s too obvious. If I were her, and if I knew someone wanted those maps, I’d bury them in the grave next to the husband’s grave, and then make a show of digging around in my husband’s grave to throw anyone off.

Though I like Common, I swear some of the writing is just weak. Like he’s talking to tattoo girl and asking her if her tattoos hurt when they were applied. Do you really think a man who used to be a slave would have any questions about whether or not something hurt? I’m pretty sure he would be familiar with stuff that hurts.

The peepshow idea did seem a bit stupid. I thought the one brother was going to film a whore or take pictures and make THAT their new show - essentially, I thought he was going to invent the peepshow movie house. Guess I need to dial down my ideas a bit.

I don’t find Bohanon that particularly interesting a main character.
I also agree that the pace is pretty slow. And it looks like next week (spoiler) they’re going to have a fight club episode. Oh boy.
