“Debates were waged over what episode from the stellar second season of “Dear White People” would make this collection, especially given that “Chapter VIII,” the episode that precedes this one, was a stellar showcase of the show’s talents on a micro level. However, it’s the penultimate episode of the year, in which Sam White (Logan Browning) deals with a family tragedy with the help of her friends Joelle (Ashley Blaine Featherson) and Coco (Antoinette Robertson), where the show reaches an emotional crescendo. If you didn’t ugly-cry at least once during this episode, then the whereabouts of your heart may be unknown. It’s a stunning achievement, brilliantly written by Nastaran Dibai & Yvette Lee Bowser and directed by Janicza Bravo [with OMAR HASSAN-REEP as Editor], and one that will stay with us for quite some time.”
