‘End of the Road’ made it clear that this particular group of friends was drifting apart.
However, after talking about it all, let’s see what other drama the two find themselves in down the line. He was unable to see Simone for who she was. Certain men continue to be unable to look at women as human beings who can mess up from time to time.īryson and Simone’s problem also linked to how women are expected to always forgive when men make numerous mistakes, but some men instantly jump to tearing women down over a single bad decision their wife or girlfriend made.Īfter being with Simone, Bryone had a fantasy about how their relationship could be like. If the women in their life make a single mistake, the men’s fantasy comes crashing down. They want their girlfriend or wife to be perfect. This show has addressed how certain men place women on pedestals. Bryson and Simone in ‘End of the Road’ (Image: Screengrab)Īs for Simone and Bryson, the two finally talked. We need to move on from problematic bisexual tropes. That’s the kind of POC bisexual representation I want to see more of in media. Lena Waite and her Boomerang team have done an impressive job when it comes to handling Ari’s character journey during the second season. So, it was less about his preference and more about wanting to grasp onto the conventional concept of masculinity. I say this because the current season had already shared he was adamant about being the top because of wanting to be the masculine one when hooking up with another dude. However, the decision Ari went with during the finale made sense for his character. Also, preferring to be the top in a relationship doesn’t necessarily mean you have toxic masculinity inside of you. In a sense, changing your preference from being a top to a bottom doesn’t mean you overcome toxic masculinity. Now, I get that some might not like his decision. He even got over his hesitation of being the bottom when being intimate with Dre.
The important thing is he’s trying to improve. I appreciated Ari understanding he still had a whole lot to learn. However, I had been waiting for Ari to have a mature conversation with Dre, and ‘End of the Road’ delivered. The show has been allowing him to change for the better. Also, her and Dream make a good couple.Īs for Ari, his narrative arc during the second season had been about dealing with toxic masculinity. I can’t wait to see her drive around in her customized school bus to provide help to many. I have to say that I’m all for Tia continuing her fight to offer better resources and protections to strippers. While episode 7 had Jones’s cameo, the final episode featured Kim Waynes as the hilarious and hard-working Juniata. I have a hunch he’s trying to be someone he isn’t.Īs for episode 8, ‘End of the Road’ allowed Ari, Tia, Bryson, and Simone’s narrative arcs to reach a conclusion (of sorts). And with him being MIA from his friends since the proposal, they really need to reach out and have a heart-to-heart with David.
Now, seeing David propose marriage to Naomi came as a surprise to me. But, then again, he needs to share his feelings with his friends in the real world. She still plays an important role in his life. Having Crystal be the God-figure in David’s vision during ‘Feels Like Heaven’ was an interesting touch that made a lot of sense. Having imaginary versions of Ari, Bryson, Tia, Crystal, and Simone converse with David will do nothing for him in the long run. Now, while I’m okay with David finding some answers, I do think he needs to talk to his friends in the real world. ‘Feels Like Heaven’ had David address a number of issues in his life. Seeing Walter Emanuel Jones cameo as the receptionist angel (while wearing his Black Power Ranger costume from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) was a fun addition. The story then took us into his subconscious. The episode featured David falling unconscious because of fasting for almost a week. That’s why it made sense for David to be attracted to social spaces where he felt respected. They just don’t take his faith seriously. Throughout the season we have seen him growing tired of being made fun of by his friends. It focused on David trying to find the will to make a big decision. Of course, I’m going to begin talking about ‘Feels Like Heaven’, the seventh episode. I need shows with POC leads and well-written queer representation in my life.

I really hope BET renews this series for another outing. David and his friends in ‘Feels Like Heaven’ (Image: Screengrab) The two-episode finale of Boomerang season 2 tied certain narrative arcs while setting things up for what to expect from the third season.
