The controversialNetflixprogram known asDear White Peoplehas truly taken the internet by storm, neatly dividing the field into devoted fans and rabid haters. Although showrunner Justin Simien believes that the negative reactions only serve to rehash the original point of his show, the fact remains that the world is not as egalitarian is a lot of people assume it to be.

Each of theepisodes often elaborates on a singlecharacter's perspective, showing audiences the many possible angles that one must consider before delivering judgment. The series is to conclude with its fourth and final season to be released later this year here is a list of the 10 best episodes from the first three, arranged by IMDb score.

When the Student Pep Rally blockade doesn't work out as planned, Gabe tries to check on Samantha, but her absence makes him suspicious. He believes that she had some sort of romantic/sexual encounter with Reggie, who she was allegedly taking care of that night.

Troy declares that a meeting will be organized to discuss the issue, while Gabe and Joelle run around obtaining the backing they need from the different marginalized communities at Winchester. Gabe's standing is left in tatters when it is discovered that he was the one who called the campus police to the party (which left Reggie severely traumatized).

In the second season premiere, Samantha is forced to deal with a troublesome Twitter troll spewing alt-right garbage directed against her account. During her radio program, she refuses to consider Joelle's various (and rather sensible) suggestions, choosing instead to ruminate on the nefarious AltIvyW.

All members of A-P are disconcerted about the school's insistence on fusing them with David House, implying that the management believes in the ridiculous idea of self-segregation.

As the season one finale, this episode does not consider one character's view, but rather ties all the loose ends together into a neat bow. Lionel's piece comes out in The Independent, which forces Troy to acknowledge his father's dominating behavior and he reacts by destroying the glass panes in the front door of Hancock Hall.

Luckily, the campus police don't shoot him for this act, but that could be because Dean Fairbanks manages to arrive at the scene in time. In the end, the two old-pals-turned-bitter-enemies, Sam and Coco, find common ground and return to being tentative friends.

Reggie spends his time healing from his ordeal the previous night (having a cop aim a gun at his face through absolutely no fault of his own). The Black Students' Union has a meeting over the event, pointing out that the campus police have no reason to be carrying around weapons on university grounds.

Sam rejects Kurt's obviously insincere attempts at smoothing things over and plans to take matters into her own hands. At least Reggie finds some minor solace in narrating his experience via open mic poetry.

Troy and Coco begin a sexual relationship, which he wants to convert into romance, but is firmly rebuffed. He later eavesdrops on Samantha's argument with Dean Fairbanks, learning (to his astonishment) that it was she who invited people to the Blackface party, although she rationalizes her actions as necessary to unravel the deep-seated problems of racism at Winchester.

Lionel tags along with Troy on his "campaign trail" to become the President of the student body. Everything becomes considerably more complicated when Thane Lockwood, a popular jock, dies in an accident.

Coco reminisces about her first year at college, in which she requested that she be moved to Bechet House rather than A-P, but her developing friendship with Sam put her at ease. The pair soon found their own paths, however, with Coco subscribing to a sorority while Sam involved herself with the Black Student Union.

In the present timeline, Coco's endorsement of the Dear Black People party upsets Samantha and Joelle greatly. However, it is Sam who is left shamed when Coco suggests that the Dean didn't punish the former as severely as she would have been if she looked "more black."

This episode takes viewers on Gabe Mitchell's journey, specifically after his falling out withSam (and every POC student on campus). For most of its runtime, the story focuses on their relationship, finally culminating in Sam and Gabe meeting up in her radio booth.

Here, everything that has ever gone wrong is painfully dredged up he is angry about her cheating on him, while she is annoyed that he continues to demand evidence of "racial inequalities." Finally, the pair realize that they still have feelings for each other andthat all their complaints are, in fact, a manifestation of their love.

The world through the eyes of Lionel Higgins is both rose-tinted and filled with terror. The poor introvert finds it tricky to muster up enough courage to take a stand, but at least he's beginning to learn to say no.

Lionel tells the BSU about the Blackface party, which is then promptly shut down. He goes on to write a front-page story about it for Silvio. He is the first to identify Sam as the culprit behind the party. He tells her that he knows what happened, which is why she accepts the responsibility (and the inevitable punishment)by means of her show.

The series opener introduces the sophisticated dynamics within Winchester without any preamble a radio show host cries foul about a Dear Black People party, but explains her rage by accurately comparing the dangerous stereotypes about Black people with the benign ones that refer to their privileged counterparts.

Unluckily for Sam, her loyalty to activism is questioned by her friends when they find out that she's in a relationship with a "white boy." To set things right, she acknowledges her role in the Blackface party, calling it a "sociological experiment."

The darkest episode in all three seasons by far, Chapter V begins almost innocently, following Reggie's app testing journey (to see if someone is woke or not). Joelle complains about his persistent "cyberstalking" of Sam, but the two end up going to Addison's party after making up.

Here, Addison casually drops the n-word while rapping and Reggie takes serious offense to it. Unfortunately, someone calls the campus cops, and they just ignore Addison's involvement in the argument and demand that Reggie display his student ID. When he refuses, they draw their gun on him.
